“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.” — George Orwell, 1984.

Or, you know, maybe not? On March 18th at the Above the Law Converge Conference, we’re going to see if four panelists can convince me that my Orwellianvision of the future of legal practice is wrong.

I don’t think I’m wrong. I look into my onyx ball and I see discovery handled by an algorithm in the Philippines. Divorce lawyers replaced by a drop down menu on LegalZoom. An army of associates in Wheeling, West Virginia, that can be deployed with a click from one partner in a bunker in Midtown. The law jobs of the future will be going to the kid who griefed your cabin in Minecraft last night.

But like John of Patmos, my addled fever dreams probably shouldn’t be taken as gospel. Our panelists:

Dr. Silvia Hodges-Silverstein – Executive Director and Founder, Buying Legal Council
Jessica Hunt – Managing Director and GM East Coast, Axiom
Rakesh Madhava – CEO, Nextpoint
Adam Nguyen – Co-Founder/COO/CFO, eBrevia

Always in motion is the future. I hope to see you there.
