CourtCorrect is pleased to announce that our CEO and Founder, Ludwig Bull, was invited to speak at the University of Cambridge on 23 October 2025 as part of the University’s ‘AI in Law’ lecture series.
The event, held at the Squire Law Library, was organised by Professor Felix Steffek, Deputy Faculty Chair of the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law, with 200 people in attendance, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic researchers, and professors.
For Ludwig, a Cambridge Law graduate himself, the occasion carried a personal significance, addressing the same lecture hall where he had once studied, now as a speaker invited by his former professors.
“It was a real honour and a privilege to have had the chance to provide law students, researchers and other members of the University with a short introduction to how AI works, equipping attendees with a better understanding of how this technology may shape their own research and practice.” (Ludwig Bull)
Exploring the intersections of law, data, and AI
Introduced by Professor Felix Steffek and Professor Louise Gullifer, Ludwig opened his lecture with an introduction to the principles underpinning AI and machine learning. He began by tracing the historical and technological developments, starting in the 1950s and exploding in the 2000s, that have enabled the recent acceleration in AI research and deployment, referencing Moore’s Law and the optimisation of semiconductors.
Ludwig explained how advances in computational power have made it possible to train ever larger and more complex AI models, and how emerging fields such as quantum computing may soon redefine the limits of processing capability altogether.
Building on this, Ludwig spoke about the role of data as the essential driver of AI progress. He touched on how the exponential increase in the volume of data available for training models represents a huge opportunity for AI development in the coming years. However, the volume of data available to train LLMs on raises a number of questions around privacy, bias, and governance.
Challenges and opportunities for AI in legal services
Ludwig then turned his attention to the application of AI in the legal sector, noting that while the analytical capabilities are rapidly advancing, its use within law must meet far higher standards of accuracy and accountability.
He also discussed the issues arising from the lack of high-quality legal data, emphasising that without sufficient data, AI systems cannot fully grasp the contextual depth required in legal reasoning. Underscoring the importance of collaboration between academia, industry, and public institutions to improve access to data.
Despite these constraints, Ludwig noted the huge potential effective AI has in improving access to justice, such as through faster case analysis and greater consistency in decision-making. When applied responsibly, he concluded, AI can help build a system that is more accurate, more transparent, and far more effective in providing justice for all consumers.
Panel discussion and closing reflections
Following Ludwig’s presentation, Dr. Holli Sargeant delivered a lecture examining practical use cases of AI in legal services. Dr. Sargeant encouraged attendees to critically consider not only how AI can be implemented, but why it should be used in certain tasks, emphasising the importance of ethical and meaningful deployment.
The event concluded with closing remarks from Professor Steffek, who reflected on the role of technology in advancing access to justice, followed by an audience Q&A session and a networking reception.
Continuing collaboration between CourtCorrect and Cambridge
CourtCorrect already has an existing relationship with the University of Cambridge. CourtCorrect has co-authored and supported the publication of two academic papers with the University:
A Corpus of UK Court Decisions for Legal and AI Research. A copy of the paper can be found here.
Legal Systems and Artificial Intelligence (CBR Project). An overview of the project can be found here.
Both projects form part of CourtCorrect’s broader mission to advance the safe, transparent, and effective use of AI within legal systems, contributing to both the academic study and the practical implementation of technology in dispute resolution. Through this work, CourtCorrect seeks to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, ensuring that innovation in artificial intelligence supports fairness, accountability, and trust in legal processes.
CourtCorrect is proud to be part of the Cambridge ecosystem, a global centre for law, technology, and ethics. We at CourtCorrect believe collaborating with Cambridge University provides an invaluable opportunity to stay at the cutting edge of innovation, develop responsible methodologies for the deployment of AI, and contribute to ongoing research on how AI can benefit access to justice.
