AI Legal Intelligence

Versus average first-time human test-takers. Higher is better.
Katz et al. originally estimated GPT-4 at the 90th percentile of human test-takers; Martínez (2024) re-estimated this figure at roughly the 48th–69th percentile when benchmarked against first-time takers only. We cite both because editorial transparency matters. Either way: GPT-4 clears the passing threshold in most U.S. states.
