Professions rooted in language—especially lawyers—excel at structuring reasoning, interpreting ambiguity, and retrieving key concepts. These skills make them uniquely valuable in shaping LLM retrieval and reasoning systems. In this article, we break down: • Why lawyers have a unique advantage when working with LLMs • How LLM information retrieval works—and where it fails • A Mock LSAT approach to debugging LLM outputs with real-world examples LLMs offer lawyers a way to create a programmatic version of themselves—one that retains their expertise but never tires or retires. With the right technical understanding, lawyers can shape how AI retrieves, interprets, and applies legal information. At WhyHow.AI, we build agentic AI systems that enhance LLM retrieval and reasoning using knowledge graphs. https://medium.com/enterprise-rag/why-lawyers-are-uniquely-suited-to-work-with-llms-bcc66d3dce98
