IP CLUB has announced the winners of its second Legal+Prompt 2026 contest. Supported by the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ, the competition aims to recognize creators of prompts that can maximize the potential of neural networks when performing legal tasks.
The organizers believe that the name of the contest reflects its nature: the plus sign symbolizes the synergy between the legal profession and modern technologies, where strict legal logic meets the boundless opportunities offered by algorithms.
The contest was open to aspiring and experienced lawyers who can effectively balance the use of AI with their professional endeavors: they find creative uses for neural networks to solve professional tasks while adhering to critical thinking and verifying generated responses.
The contest jury focused less on the depth of participants’ legal knowledge and more on their prompting skills. They evaluated the originality of prompts, prompting thoroughness, and the ability to make AI generate in-depth, unconventional and actionable responses.
Legal+Prompt 2026 winners:
- Pyotr Beketov, Director of the Neuropanda project
- Olga Oshkina, MA student at the Russian State Academy of Intellectual Property
- Darya Tereshchenko, student at the Northwestern Branch of the Lebedev Russian State University of Justice.
The jury decided not to rank the winners and reward them equally.
The awards ceremony will take place on April 8, the closing day of the 16th Russian Internet Governance Forum (RIGF 2026). Each winner will receive a Legal+Prompt 2026 certificate of achievement, a book titled International Internet Governance (edited by Yelena Zinovyeva, 2025), and original merchandize from the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ.
Legal+Prompt 2026 has demonstrated that blending professional legal expertise and smart approaches to AI can open new opportunities for the industry. Participants have demonstrated their problem-solving skills using sophisticated prompting techniques.
