LawAI’s Legal Frontiers Summer Research Fellowship supports research at the intersection of advanced AI, law and public policy. Its remote-first format can suit researchers whose projects cross disciplinary boundaries.

Benefits and support
The programme includes research mentorship and eligible travel support for its Washington, DC convening. Additional location-dependent support may be available.
Who can apply?
Most successful applicants have a strong legal background and expertise in US, EU or UK law and policy. Exceptional applicants from related disciplines may be considered if their research clearly contributes to legal or policy questions. Full-time participation and attendance at the 21–25 June convening are required. Technical researchers must find their own qualified technical supervisor.
How to apply
Review the Legal Frontiers workstreams and apply using the form linked from the official programme page. Describe your proposed research and its connection to law and AI.

Preparing a focused application
An interdisciplinary application works best when the connection between disciplines is explicit. Explain what your method can reveal that a conventional legal analysis might miss, then identify the legal question that makes the result useful. Keep the proposed output realistic for ten weeks. If your project uses data or technical methods, describe the resources and supervision needed. Do not assume that a remote-first programme removes travel commitments; plan for the required convening.
Frequently asked question
Can applicants from outside law apply?
Exceptional candidates from related fields can be considered when they demonstrate a clear contribution to law and public policy.
