Can Software Replace Lawyers?

10

From IBM’s Watson to Apple’s new Siri to the growth of predictive coding in e-discovery, it’s been a heck of a year for computers catching up to humans. Lately, there’s been a lot of discussion about the question, “Can software take the place of lawyers?” Can it, or will it? In this episode, Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell discuss the latest software advances and the likely impact on lawyers, how lawyers might benefit from these advances, and how worried lawyers should be about competition from machines.  After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis’ co-blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.

Special thanks to our sponsors, Breezy, Clio, Carbonite Business, and Firm Manager.

    Wow. That would be really great. A lawyer for all your needs for 12.95; can’t wait for it to hit the Arizona bookshelves and that liposuction sound of money may stay in your wallet in Arizona now. When do we start?
