One of the most important ways in which technology has improved the legal workplace is through the introduction of the automation of repetitive tasks. Solutions such as RunSensible allow law firms to accelerate client acquisition, manage case documentation and manage communications from a single platform. Legal artificial intelligence can help lawyers quickly analyze volumes of case law and then add and summarize that data in a more meaningful way. Since artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can analyze far more legal data than a human being, litigants can rely more on breadth and quality of their legal investigation.
AI-based case law research tools use powerful language learning models to establish connections and partnerships that a lawyer may not intend to establish, so you can rest easy knowing that you have left no stone unturned and identified all of the legal precedents that strengthen your case. At a time when law firms are facing increasing pressure to change the old business model, technology allows them to be more efficient and innovative, and to redefine the value that their lawyers provide. Technology also helps to reduce barriers that prevent many people from accessing legal services. Technology is the tool and catalyst for change, but to face this process of digital transformation, it is first necessary to carry out a cultural change “that affects people and their training to strategically understand changes in the environment”, explains Navarro.
For example, through their business intelligence tool Goodwin Litigation Intelligence, an online visualization database recognized by the Financial Times, Goodwin's attorneys can identify the firm's appearances across the United States. The legal profession's risk aversion makes investing in legal technology especially difficult, Davidson says. Katz, a professor at the Chicago-Kent Law School, came to media attention earlier this year when he and his co-authors published a study showing that their algorithm predicted U. For example, the possibility of hallucinations (the phenomenon by which artificial intelligence chatbots can confidently provide false information in response to a warning) can jeopardize the accuracy of a lawyer's work. Linna has created a framework and a roadmap for innovation, as well as an index that rates law firms based on their development and their openness to innovative approaches.
He specializes in international trademark law, in the management of authorization matters and in the management of disputes around the world. So how do lawyers and future lawyers add value in a profession where the value proposition is changing? One of the obstacles is the investment challenge posed by ethical standards that prohibit law firms and attorneys from sharing fees with people who are not lawyers, an issue that Reardon has been studying in the Illinois Supreme Court's Commission on Professionalism. As an associate professor at the Chicago-Kent Law School and director of her law lab, Katz should know. Since machine learning can help lawyers accelerate the due diligence process by analyzing cases more efficiently, this reduces the risk that litigation funders must assume.
Sutherland, Myers and the firm's project managers also developed the Watch app, which allows Seyfarth lawyers and their clients to monitor potentially conflicting trademark applications around the world and make decisions quickly and efficiently about whether to challenge them or not. While the use of AI for legal professionals can give lawyers more time to focus on strategic planning and case analysis, the technology also presents challenges, such as prejudice, discrimination and privacy issues.
