Why the AI Legal Revolution Is Already Here, and What It Means for Lawyers and Law Students
from Version Up · host Kaj Rozga
The AI Legal revolution is already here. That’s the bottom line from my conversation with LegalTech thought leader, educator, and founder, Thomas G. Martin. It’s no longer just about using tools to be more productive. What we’re looking at is a transformation of what a “legal service provider” is. Tom’s theory is that every law firm is now a software company. Whether or not you agree with the ultimate conclusion, you’ll be hard pressed to find flaws in the logic that leads him to it. The implications of this are far reaching. Practicing lawyers, law students, startup founders — if guided by the ultimate needs of the client — will witness major shifts in the model for delivering those services. This is not a matter of a decade. It is just around the corner — with the foundation already shifting underneath everyone’s feet. But this is not cause for panic or alarm. We haven’t passed some event horizon for law firm tech adoption. It’s a moment for reflection, investment, and for embracing the opportunities that this pivotal moment presents. As always, views expressed are my own. https://ca.linkedin.com/in/thomasgmartin https://www.lawdroidmanifesto.com/ https://lawdroid.com/
