NYSBA Members Get Exclusive 20% Off Querious Legal AI

New York State Bar Association Provides Exclusive Member Discount for Legal AI Provider Querious

The New York State Bar Association has partnered with Querious to offer members preferred pricing on the company's Legal Conversational Intelligence platform. Members receive a 20% discount on both monthly and annual subscriptions.

Querious is built for the unique demands of legal practice. It uses AI to surface relevant, credible, publicly available information in real time during client meetings, helping attorneys spot issues, cite authority, and ask better questions.

What Querious Does in Practice

During a client conversation, the platform highlights key legal points and prompts potential issues and case law to review. After the meeting, it drafts a summary email and captures billing information, reducing time spent on follow-up and timekeeping.

According to NYSBA President Kathleen Sweet, the tool supports sharper, more meaningful client discussions and will be offered as a member benefit. Querious was created by attorneys with client-facing experience and an emphasis on professional standards.

Integration and Workflow Fit

Querious integrates with Microsoft and Google office environments, including Teams and Zoom. That means most firms can adopt it without reworking their core stack or retraining staff across multiple tools.

Ethics and Credibility

The platform relies on credible public sources and encourages attorneys to verify facts and authority before relying on them. This aligns with the profession's duty of competence and supervision over the use of technology in practice. For reference, see ABA Model Rule 1.1 on technological competence.

Why It Matters for Your Practice

• Spot issues earlier: Structured prompts reduce omissions in fast-moving client conversations.
• Improve client clarity: Real-time cues help frame next steps, risks, and likely pathways.
• Cut admin work: Automated summaries and time entries shorten the distance from meeting to file memo and invoice.
• Support consistency: Standardized prompts can help junior lawyers and cross-functional teams work from the same playbook.

Member Discount Details

NYSBA members receive a 20% discount on monthly and annual Querious plans. Querious inventor Hilary Bowman notes that this collaboration helps New York attorneys adopt AI responsibly in client conversations while reducing administrative burdens.

How to Roll It Out in Your Firm

• Pilot with one practice group and define success metrics (issue-spotting coverage, time saved on summaries, billing accuracy).
• Set guardrails: matter types, data handling rules, and attorney oversight checkpoints.
• Document workflows: capture prompts that work, citations to verify, and post-meeting review steps.
• Review outcomes monthly and expand access only after hitting defined targets.

Access for NYSBA Members

Members can find program and discount details through the NYSBA member portal or by contacting member services. Confirm eligibility and plan type before rollout so you can assign seats and set usage policies on day one.

Next Steps

If your firm handles frequent client meetings and needs better issue capture, summaries, and timekeeping, Querious is worth a pilot. Build a short checklist for verification and supervision so every output is attorney-reviewed before it reaches the client file.
