A practical understanding of AI.

Case & Code is an independent learning resource for lawyers, judges, and people curious about how artificial intelligence works and how to use it carefully in legal work.

Who writes this

Zachary Pringle is a commercial litigator and securities regulatory defence lawyer at Babin Bessner Spry LLP in Toronto, Ontario. Case & Code is his own project. It is not affiliated with the firm, and nothing on the site is the firm's view or legal advice.

Zachary maintains the glossary, lessons, prompt and agent libraries, and local AI guide. Sources are listed on each page. Corrections and suggestions are welcome.

Read, try, check, continue.

The learning library contains 53 lessons in 9 chapters. Each pairs an explanation with a concrete example or procedure, a small exercise, and a review guide. 3 guided paths offer different levels of depth, and two lessons address what courts and regulators already expect. You can also open a single lesson when a question comes up.

The glossary

The glossary defines 276 terms in plain English, each with a concrete example and the distinction that matters in practice. Terms are linked from the lessons; tap a linked word to read its definition without leaving the page.

Sources and editorial work

Technical explanations link to primary documentation, research, and instructional material. Source notes identify what those links support. Practical workflows, prompts, and fictional legal scenarios are editorial teaching exercises. They are not representations that a product produces error-free work, and links do not imply endorsement by their authors.

The library is a companion to the 32-week Advanced AI for Legal Practice syllabus. It does not reproduce every multi-hour lab or replace the implementation work needed for a complete course. The professional-obligations material describes the position as of October 2026 and links to its sources; confirm the current rules for your court before relying on it.

The articles

The articles are short pieces, one idea each, written for this site. They lead to the maintained lessons and are not reproductions of posts published elsewhere.
