RelFest26 Sydney - Professor Michael Legg

🎙️ AI won’t replace lawyers.But it will reshape what they do. At RelFest 26 Sydney, Jonathan sat down with Professor Michael Legg from UNSW to explore how legal education — and the profession itself — is evolving in the age of AI. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ↳ Law schools still need to teach core legal fundamentals — that doesn’t change ↳ But students now also need technical awareness and AI literacy ↳ The real differentiator? Human skills — judgment, empathy, communication ↳ AI may reduce some roles… but also create entirely new areas of legal work ↳ The future of law will demand continuous learning, not a one-time qualification One insight that stood out: Humans need to do the work that technology can’t. As AI continues to evolve, the question isn’t: 👉 Will there be lawyers?👉 It’s what kind of lawyers will thrive. #PeopleInLegal #LegalTech #AIinLaw #FutureOfLaw #LegalEducation #LawStudents #LegalInnovation #UNSW #LegalIndustry
