AI Transparency Statement

Last updated: 1 April 2026

1. Overview

LexIQ Law Tutor is an AI-powered educational platform designed to help law students develop their legal knowledge and skills. We believe in being transparent about how our AI technology works, its capabilities, and its limitations. This statement explains our approach to responsible AI use in legal education.

2. How We Use AI

LexIQ Law Tutor uses large language models (LLMs) to power several educational features:

  • Essay Marking & Feedback — Our AI analyses your essays against UK university marking criteria, providing structured feedback on legal reasoning, case law application, critical analysis, and writing quality.
  • AI Tutor Chat — An interactive conversational tutor that can explain legal concepts, discuss case law, and help you work through problem questions.
  • Quiz & Flashcard Generation — AI generates practice questions and revision materials tailored to specific legal topics and modules.
  • SQE1 Practice Questions — AI-generated multiple-choice questions aligned with the SRA's SQE1 assessment specification, covering both FLK1 and FLK2 subjects.
  • Study Planning — AI assists in creating personalised study schedules based on your modules, exam dates, and learning goals.

3. AI Models & Training

Our platform uses commercially available large language models, enhanced with carefully designed prompts and system instructions specific to UK legal education. We do not train our own foundation models. Instead, we apply prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques to ensure outputs are relevant to the UK legal curriculum.

Our AI systems are designed with knowledge of:

  • UK university marking criteria and assessment standards
  • The SRA's Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) specification
  • OSCOLA referencing conventions
  • Key UK statutes, case law, and legal principles

4. Limitations & Accuracy

While our AI tools are designed to be helpful educational aids, they have important limitations that all users should understand:

  • Not infallible — AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information. Legal analysis generated by AI should always be verified against authoritative sources such as textbooks, case reports, and legislation.
  • Not legal advice — Nothing produced by LexIQ Law Tutor constitutes legal advice. Our tools are for educational purposes only and should not be relied upon for real-world legal matters.
  • Knowledge limitations — AI models have training data cutoffs and may not reflect the very latest legislative changes, case law developments, or regulatory updates.
  • Hallucination risk — Like all large language models, our AI may occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information, including fabricated case names or inaccurate legal principles. We implement safeguards to minimise this, but it cannot be entirely eliminated.
  • Marking consistency — While our essay feedback is calibrated against university marking criteria, AI marking may not perfectly replicate the judgment of a human marker. Use AI feedback as one input among many in your learning process.

5. Data & Privacy

We take your data seriously. When you use LexIQ Law Tutor:

  • Your essays and written work are processed by AI to generate feedback, but are not used to train AI models.
  • Your conversation history with the AI tutor is stored to provide continuity but is not shared with third parties.
  • We do not sell or share your personal data or academic work with any external parties for commercial purposes.
  • All data processing complies with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

For full details, please see our Privacy Policy.

6. Human Oversight

LexIQ Law Tutor is developed and maintained by legal education professionals, including practising barristers and experienced law tutors. Our team:

  • Designs and reviews AI prompts to ensure educational accuracy and relevance
  • Regularly tests AI outputs against expected standards
  • Monitors user feedback to identify and correct systematic issues
  • Updates our systems to reflect changes in the law and assessment frameworks

7. Academic Integrity

LexIQ Law Tutor is designed to support your learning, not to replace it. We strongly encourage all users to:

  • Use AI feedback as a learning tool, not as a substitute for independent study
  • Always verify AI-generated information against authoritative legal sources
  • Never submit AI-generated content as your own work — this may constitute academic misconduct
  • Develop your own legal reasoning and critical analysis skills alongside AI assistance

For more details on responsible use, please see our Fair Use Policy and Terms of Service.

8. Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our AI tools and their transparency. We welcome feedback from students, educators, and institutions on how we can better serve the legal education community. If you have questions or concerns about our use of AI, please contact us through our support page.
