Whenever we lament that the legal industry lags behind other professions in its technological adoption, someone is there to ponder if lawyers themselves are the problem. Could it be that lawyers — generally — just aren’t able to understand technology? They went to law school because they were told there’d be no math and now that they’ve joined the profession they just want to put their head down and do some old-fashioned lawyerin’ without all those AIs and blockchains.
Or perhaps the fault is in our technology stars. Have the innovators building legal technology failed us by building “solutions” that lawyers don’t really need?
On May 2 at 2 p.m. Eastern, I’ll be participating in a web discussion with Michael Simon, Jon Tobin, and Bob Ambrogi to get to the heart of the law’s technological troubles. As one might suspect, I’ll be throwing copious amounts of shade on the legal community’s tech savvy.
Register for the event here and enjoy the fireworks!
