1.1 Background of the Study
Legal research is a critical component of the justice system, requiring comprehensive analysis of statutes, case laws, and precedents. Traditional methods of legal research are often time-consuming and prone to errors. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have revolutionized this process by enabling rapid data retrieval, pattern recognition, and predictive analysis.
The Ministry of Justice in Kano State has adopted AI tools to enhance legal research capabilities, streamline case preparation, and improve decision-making processes. By automating repetitive tasks and providing intelligent insights, AI significantly reduces the workload on legal professionals and enhances the quality of legal services (Aliyu & Musa, 2025). This study explores the impact of AI tools on legal research in Kano State.
