Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Law for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: Mid-1980s murder-mystery comedy movie poster of a wide three-story black-and-white engraved gothic Victorian courthouse-mansion on pure black with pointed turrets at each end and scales of justice etched into the central gable, windows glowing warm amber showing costumed suspects (a bewigged barrister with a thick statute book, a robed judge mid gavel strike, an indignant plaintiff waving a subpoena) and still lifes of stacked court filings, rolled contracts, and one gavel caught mid-fall, with a slim upright silver-haired butler in black tailcoat and white gloves standing in the open warmly-lit central double door holding a silver tray with a sealed envelope bearing a tiny scales-of-justice wax seal, dense crosshatched pen-and-ink linework, symmetrical frontal composition, fat rounded extra-heavy white sans-serif title 'Law' arched above the roofline, campy spooky theatrical.
This Week in Law News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
- Legal-specific models and tools: Harvey introduced Harvey Tenet, a legal agent model built by post-training an open-source Kimi K3 base with Fireworks. Google also launched Gemini Enterprise for Legal, and Thomson Reuters published how it built Thomson.
- Legal adoption is spreading: An a16z chart said legal is the fastest-growing area for Codex adoption since February, at 108x. That outpaces sales, recruiting and marketing in the same chart.
- Government cleanup and agent duties: Stanford's Daniel Ho described AI helping governments scan 3 billion words of local law, where some towns still have segregated-school and poll-tax rules on the books. Separately, a Stanford HAI brief argues AI agents should be treated as fiduciaries that act in users' best interests.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Harvey is a great example of how American companies are building world-class specialized models: they took an open-source base (Kimi K3), post-trained it on legal data, and delivered state-of-the-art performance on legal benchmarks at a fraction of the cost of frontier models.”
