LANSING, MI – The Michigan Supreme Court has contracted with Learned Hand, the first generative AI platform purpose-built for courts, to support judges and judicial staff. The contracted services will provide Michigan Supreme Court (MSC) staff with access to Learned Hand’s customized legal reasoning platform.

“We are honored to support the Michigan Supreme Court in the critical work they do,” said Shlomo Klapper, CEO of Learned Hand. “Our goal isn’t to replace judges or staff. It’s to help them get every decision right, even under increasing caseloads and time pressure, so the courts can uphold their commitment to ‘just, speedy, and inexpensive’ resolutions.”

This contract proceeded a pilot program between Learned Hand and MSC. During this pilot program, pilot users benchmarked Learned Hand’s tools against court-generated work from past cases to ensure standards of accuracy, transparency, and legal fidelity.

Shlomo Klapper explains Learned Hand’s platform as “a closed universe, so it draws exclusively from verified legal authorities and court-specific guidance. The system is engineered to maintain extremely robust safeguards against hallucinations. All outputs are grounded in established law and precedent, which are then linked side-by-side so that court attorneys can verify every claim from its source. With rigorous validation processes and ongoing collaboration with judicial experts, Learned Hand delivers consistent, transparent, and reliable legal reasoning.”

“We look forward to working with the Court for many years to come,” said Shlomo Klapper. 

About Learned Hand

Where other tools are trained for the business of law, Learned Hand is built to support the rule of law.

Courts across America face a crushing caseload with zero tolerance for error. Off-the-shelf tools do not meet the bar for the rigor of court work and litigator-focused tools are inapposite. That’s why Learned Hand built a “law clerk for law clerks,” a platform engineered for the unique responsibilities of the court: to reason transparently, analyze impartially, and uphold the rule of law.

Learned Hand’s smart assistance is a force multiplier for justice. Like how law clerks assist judges, Learned Hand assists law clerks, staff attorneys, and judges in the realm of legal analysis, drafting, and review — using AI that mirrors judicial reasoning, stays within the bounds of precedent, and maintains the human role as the ultimate judge.
