How AI Will Change Law Schools, Law Firms, and Users of Legal Services

from What Happens Next in 6 Minutes · host Larry Bernstein

Our speaker is Polk Wagner, who's the deputy dean of Penn Law School, who has been charged with figuring out how to adapt the law school curriculum to the AI revolution. I want to hear from Polk about how law schools will adapt as their graduate's jobs will no longer focus on document creation, but instead more complex legal analysis.This podcast was taped at a conference that I hosted so many of the questions will be asked by my friends. And in the audience was David Stellings, who's the managing partner of law firm Leif Cabreze. I want to learn from David about how AI would change the structure of law firms as the work process will need to change and I want to find out if the by the hour billing practice will end and what will replace it.I also want to hear from my friends who use legal services about how they plan to use AI to negotiate contracts, to understand complex legal agreements, and to draft documents that previously would have been delegated to their attorneys.
