In the 33rd episode of Xraised, award-winning barrister and MiAI Law CEO Laina Chan delves into her vision of AI as the legal profession’s “perfect memory.” What if every case, precedent, and principle could be recalled instantly—nothing forgotten, nothing lost? Could this redefine how lawyers and judges interpret the law itself?
In this thought-provoking conversation titled “MiAI Law: Building the Perfect Legal Memory,” Laina explores how AI-driven legal research is transforming the very foundations of legal reasoning. While MiAI Law’s technology can retrieve and rank every precedent in seconds, Laina emphasizes that memory alone doesn’t equal meaning. The power of law still lies in human judgment, advocacy, and ethical decision-making.
Throughout the interview, Laina unpacks the opportunities and challenges of a world where every legal authority is at your fingertips:
How AI creates a shared, structured “collective memory” for the entire legal profession.
How total recall reshapes legal strategy — levelling the playing field between top-tier firms and independent practitioners.
Why great lawyers will always be defined by interpretation, persuasion, and restraint, not just data access.
The delicate balance between preserving legal history and progressing the law through courageous advocacy.
As Most Influential CEO 2025 – LegalTech (Sydney), Laina Chan leads MiAI Law, Australia’s first AI-powered legal research platform built from first principles. Under her leadership, MiAI Law has gained national and international recognition — from the House of Commons’ History of Parliament Trust to Allen & Overy’s Fuse program and The LegalTech Fund’s Global Litigation Roadmap.
Drawing on three decades of legal expertise — from her early days at the New South Wales Court of Appeal to her Harvard Business School education — Laina explains how AI can empower lawyers, expand access to justice, and raise professional standards while keeping human judgment at the center.
With her trademark clarity and insight, Laina Chan reveals how MiAI Law is not replacing human lawyers—but helping them think more clearly, act more strategically, and advance the law itself.
