Lucio AI has announced a partnership with National University of Singapore, Faculty of Law (NUS Law) that will put legal-specific AI directly into the hands of students and faculty.

The aim is straightforward: graduates should not encounter professional legal AI for the first time on the job. By embedding Lucio into the curriculum and research environment, NUS Law is giving its students room to learn these tools so that they can understand what do with AI, where their limits lie and how to use such technology responsibly.

Through Lucio Assistant, they can research faster, draft more effectively and turn dense, complex material into structured and usable output. In short, students get to work the way modern legal teams already do.

For faculty, the platform opens up new ground for research while offering a window into how students actually engage with AI in their learning. Access and training will be coordinated through NUS Libraries, who will fold the platform into their existing information literacy programmes.

Professor Andrew Simester, Dean of NUS Law, noted,

"Giving students access to AI tools is not about replacing the foundational skills and judgement that lie at the heart of legal education. Rather, it is about ensuring that our students become familiar with how such tools may be used and understand that their outputs must be assessed critically and responsibly. We are very grateful to Lucio for supporting us in this endeavour."

"The lawyers coming out of NUS will enter a profession already shaped by AI. The question is whether they arrive prepared," said Vasu Aggarwal, Co-Founder of Lucio AI.

"With this partnership, we're making sure they do. We will equip them with the skills to use AI effectively, challenge it intelligently, and deliver defensible work they can stand behind from day one."

"NUS is one of the highest-quality law schools globally, and we're genuinely excited to partner with an institution that sets the standard for legal education," said Darsan Guruvayurappan, Co-Founder of Lucio AI.

"Our goal is simple: when NUS graduates step into practice, they should already be familiar with the tools, understand best practices in legal AI, and be able to contribute from day one without a steep learning curve."
