Use Case Breakdown
Distribution of legal AI usage across work, personal, and coursework contexts.
Measured data - pre-processed from HAQQ's real Legal AI Index usage dataset (134,000+ data points across 30 countries) or HAQQ's own /50 cross-model legal benchmark.
HAQQ usage data shows legal AI queries are overwhelmingly professional: 72.4% of sessions are work use, versus 19.8% personal and 4.2% coursework (3.6% unclassified) - roughly 3.7-to-1 work over personal. That split suggests the tool is being pulled into daily research, drafting, and analysis workflows rather than used mainly for casual or academic questions. For legal CIOs evaluating adoption, usage concentrates where fee-earning work actually happens.
