  1. Who Pays for the Pilot? Caseway’s Partnership Model
    Aug 11, 2026 · original
    Every legal software company says it is doing AI. Almost none of them will tell you the AI pilot cost or who funds the build. Caseway publishes its terms, including the price band. A Q&A with founder and CEO Al Vigier. Al Vigier founded Caseway and publishes Advocate Daily. He answered these questions in writing. Is the legal profession actually adopting AI, or is everyone just talking about it? Both, and the gap between the two is the whole story. Clio’s 2025 Legal Trends Report puts AI usage at 79 percent of legal professionals, up from 19 percent in 2023 . That is one of the fastest adoption curves anyone has recorded for a professional tool. Now look at the organizational number. Thomson Reuters surveyed more than 1,700 professionals across the US, UK and Canada and found 26 percent of legal organizations actively using generative AI , up from 14 percent.

  2. Canadian defence procurement is lawful. The silence isn’t
    Jul 8, 2026 · original
    Canadian defence procurement just pivoted toward buying domestic, and the submarine award and light-vehicle carve-out both rest on solid legal ground. Announcing them as industrial policy while leaving the legal reasoning unspoken erodes the rule-of-law advantage Canada is trying to sell. By Al Vigier In the span of a single week, Ottawa rewired how it buys for war. It named Germany’s TKMS the preferred supplier for a 12-boat submarine fleet, the largest military procurement in Canadian history . They then quietly cancelled the second phase of the up-to-$4.9-billion Light Utility Vehicle competition and moved to invite only a short list of Canadian firms to replace the army’s G-Wagons, shutting out the American primes AM General and Oshkosh. It added an $800-million buy of Kongsberg Joint Strike Missiles for the F-35, and an agreement in principle to run Arctic military satellite communi
  3. How to Become a Lawyer When the Office Is Optional
    May 22, 2026 · original
    For Maria Chen, the job offer felt impossible a decade ago. A single mother in Kamloops, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest large firm. She had assumed a legal career was something that happened to other people. It was for people who could afford to uproot their lives and move to Vancouver or Toronto for three years of school… And of course, a summer of unpaid clerking. She enrolled in an online Juris Doctor program instead. But she also kept her day job, and clerked remotely for a law firm she has still never visited in person. Her path would have been unrecognizable to the generation of lawyers before her. For decades, the route into the profession ran through a single, rigid channel… A campus law school , an articling position secured through proximity and connections, and a working life built around a physical office and the assumption that everyone would be in it. That channel
  4. Caseway named to the Scale Up Canada 2026 Vancouver50
    May 14, 2026 · original
    Scale Up Canada has named Caseway to the 2026 Vancouver50, a list of fifty companies in the Greater Vancouver region judged to have Canada-made innovation with global export potential. The list is the Vancouver arm of Scale Up Canada’s Canada250 program, which assembles regional cohorts across Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, and Edmonton, with Waterloo arriving next. Selection is free, open application, and judged by an outside panel. The 2026 Vancouver jury included Klue co-founder Jason Smith , Michael Lints of Golden Gate Ventures , Jen Holmstrom of Notable Capital, and Bigbang Angels’ Byung Sun Hwang, among others. The 2026 cohort is good company. Hydra Energy, MetaOptima, Vsblty, LifeBooster, HTuO Biosciences, Butterfly Legal, and Divvi Health are all on it. Maninder Dhaliwal chairs Scale Up Canada, a not-for-profit. Its jury applied three straightforward criteria. Canadian i
  5. Canada Defence Tech Partnership: Caseway and Valtec Join Forces
    May 11, 2026 · original
    Caseway and Valtec today announced a Canada defence tech partnership to build and field a joint detection-to-decision capability for defence and regulated markets. The partnership combines Valtec’s compact unmanned aerial systems and precision sensing with Caseway’s structured, audit-ready decision and data layer, producing an end-to-end pipeline from edge sensor to commander’s screen. The agreement marks both companies’ formal entry into dual-use defence technology, with an explicit focus on the protection of Canada and the broader NATO alliance.

  6. Vexatious Litigation Canada: The Data Problem Nobody Is Solving
    May 6, 2026 · original
    By Alistair Vigier Vexatious litigation in Canada and the United States is jamming up the courts. The systems used to identify these litigants are slow, reactive, and built for a paper era. The cost is a justice system that runs slower for everyone else. In 2018, after six years of fighting a credit union over her late mother’s estate, after passing through the hands of 23 different judges, and after running up more than $243,000 in court-ordered costs against herself, Janet Hoessmann was finally banned from suing without permission. Justice Kenneth Ball of the BC Supreme Court called her conduct “reprehensible and remarkably wasteful.” That was the formal language. The plain version is that one self-represented litigant in one province burned through more judicial time than most full-blown commercial trials. She is not unusual. She is just visible. Vexatious Litigation in Canada: Nine R
  7. How a Vancouver company is trying to fix Canada’s legal data desert
    May 3, 2026 · original
    For the small-business owner staring down a frivolous lawsuit, the rise of Canadian legal AI raises a deceptively simple question. Has a court ruled on this kind of dispute before, and what happened? In Canada, finding the answer can take days. In the United States, it takes seconds. The CBA just published an article titled “ The vexing problem of vexatious litigation .” That gap is what a Vancouver company called Caseway was built to close. Canada’s legal data desert Founded by Alistair Vigier, who served seven years in the Canadian Army and spent five years in divorce law before turning to technology, Caseway argues that the path to a fairer justice system runs through better data. The path runs through the hundreds of thousands of judicial decisions already produced by Canadian courts and scattered across inconsistent, fragmented, often inaccessible publishing systems. “Judges are pai
  8. A Wake-Up Call for Court Leaders in Canada and the United States
    Apr 23, 2026 · original
    Court leaders in Canada and the United States are running out of time to decide how artificial intelligence enters the justice system. A Saskatchewan judge issued a ruling last July that one lawyer called groundbreaking. It dealt with whether police officers accused of wrongdoing can investigate themselves. Six months later, the ruling still isn’t on CanLII. The public can’t read it. Other lawyers can’t easily cite it. For practical purposes, it might as well not exist. That’s the state of court transparency in Canada in 2026. And while courts on both sides of the border argue about who decides what gets published, artificial intelligence is transforming legal practice anyway. The question for court leaders now is simple: are you going to shape how AI enters the justice system, or are you going to let it happen to you? I run Caseway, a Vancouver company that reads millions of court decis
  9. Best Way to Automate Court Forms Without Hiring More Staff
    Mar 31, 2026 · original
    Court-form work is not “busywork.” Many law firms are thinking about how to automate court forms. It is a measurable tax on firm capacity and a direct driver of filing risk. The latest benchmarking data shows a typical lawyer utilization rate around 38%, meaning roughly five hours of an eight-hour day go unbilled and get consumed by non-billable tasks and operations overhead. At the same time, courts have made it clear (often through rejection) that “close enough” is not a strategy. One example with unusually transparent reporting is the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles eFiling rejection report: the overall rejection rate runs around 8–9% for civil filings and about 17% for family law filings (May through April in the report’s period), with “missing information or attachments” as the single largest family-law rejection reason. This is why “generic AI” is the wrong ment
  10. Why California Courts Are Ripe for Form Automation
    Mar 10, 2026 · original
    California’s courts runs on paperwork. Every motion, petition, declaration, and procedural step relies on standardized documents. The state’s court infrastructure processes millions of filings every year , and even small errors can send a case backward in the queue. This is not a theoretical problem. According to data from the Judicial Council of California, California’s courts processed more than 5.3 million cases in fiscal year 2024–2025, serving a population of roughly 39 million people. At that scale, even minor administrative inefficiencies can ripple across the system. The numbers show that delay is not uncommon. Statewide time-to-disposition statistics indicate that only 65 percent of general unlimited civil cases are resolved within 12 months, falling short of the judicial branch’s own target of 75 percent. Even after two years, only 86 percent of those cases have been disposed,
