What it adds

A field pilot examines AI adoption in legal aid, including practical use cases and randomized access to extra support. It brings practitioners' experiences into a collection otherwise dominated by benchmarks and simulated tasks.

Read with this limitation

Reported productivity gains are participants' assessments, not independently measured client outcomes. Randomization concerns additional support, not AI access versus no AI. Our current inspection covers the journal abstract, so detailed methods still require full-text assessment.
