AI Is Killing Legal’s Billable Hour. It’s Also Repeating Its Worst Mistake
Law firms and legal departments are writing the future of the profession in separate rooms. What happens when they actually work together?
As is customary with our caption contests, we’ll now reveal the backstory behind the picture. A week or two ago, this poor soul showed up early for an oral argument, but had no idea the webcams were already running. A tipster tells us he “spent like a minute trying to get the perfect selfie — with flash, without, adjusting his tie, changing the angle. His selfie diligence was impressive! It was quite amusing!” Alas, his quest to capture the perfect courtroom selfie was all for naught — he didn’t say a word during the hearing, which you can see here if you’re interested. If you know him, you can tell him he’s internet famous.
You can thank the advent of cameras in the courtroom for the winner of our latest caption contest:
