Thomson Reuters Expands AI-Powered Legal Education with Next-Generation Tools for Law Schools

Toronto, September 24, 2025 – Today, Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI), a global content and technology company, announced that its recently launched Gen AI-enabled legal tools—CoCounsel Legal and Deep Research from Westlaw—will be made available to U.S. law schools. 

This announcement reinforces Thomson Reuters position as one of the premier technology partners for legal education in the United States, currently serving more than 200 law schools nationwide, including the prestigious T-14 top-tier institutions. The Company's comprehensive academic footprint continues its 150 years of serving law schools creating an enduring partnership with the academic legal community. 

All law school customers' faculty will be receiving access to these products in the coming weeks while students will be getting full access at the beginning of the New Year. With tens of thousands of law students using its AI-enabled tools, Thomson Reuters plays a leading role in preparing future lawyers for the evolving legal landscape. 

“Students now enter law school familiar with generic consumer GenAI tools like ChatGPT. It has become more important than ever to steer them to appropriate and ethical use of this powerful technology in their new legal workflows,” added Professor Dyane L. O’Leary, Director, Legal Innovation & Technology Center, Suffolk University Law School. “CoCounsel Legal offers a transformative combination of tried-and-true “old” research basics with amazing new efficiencies of agentic research partners. Students have been rightfully “wow’d” by the streamlined ability of CoCounsel to work across complex issues and do all sorts of things with immense quantities of information. If consumer AI is a law student’s generic average helper, CoCounsel Legal seems more like it will become the modern lawyer’s trained and trusted law-specific thought partner and colleague.”

"Thomson Reuters continues to be at the forefront of AI innovation for the legal profession. Our latest Gen AI tools represent a quantum leap forward," said Pat Eveland, GM, Government Business at Thomson Reuters. "By introducing Deep Research and CoCounsel Legal to our academic partners, we're ensuring that law students graduate with hands-on experience using the same cutting-edge technologies they'll rely on in practice."

Deep Research from Westlaw leverages advanced generative AI to enhance legal research capabilities, enabling students to conduct more comprehensive and efficient case law analysis, statutory research, and legal precedent discovery. CoCounsel Legal represents a breakthrough in AI-assisted legal analysis, providing students with intelligent document review, contract analysis, and legal drafting support. This tool serves as a virtual legal assistant, helping students understand complex legal concepts while developing practical skills in legal writing, document preparation, and case analysis.
