Legal AI Glossary

A reference dictionary of terminology at the intersection of AI technology and legal practice. Covers both technical AI terms (RAG, hallucination, fine-tuning, agentic workflow, LLM, token, MCP protocol) and legal/professional responsibility terms (Model Rule 1.1 competence, unauthorized practice of law, attorney-client privilege in AI context, EU AI Act risk classification, GPAI). Each entry provides a plain-language definition, notes the context in which the term appears in legal AI discourse, and links to primary sources (statutory definitions, ABA opinions, regulatory text) where applicable. This group serves cross-disciplinary readers — lawyers unfamiliar with AI terminology and technologists unfamiliar with legal concepts — and supports comprehension across all other site sections. Entries should be concise and maintained as the terminology evolves.
