Fear not!
Courts need to think on this one
There are a ton of things professionals do from moving notes, to finding information, to processing information that can all be reasonably done by AI. The opportunity is what do you do with that time? What matters
Bahahahaha
AI would be better than this, buddy
Good morning the peacemakers.
Good night to all the lawyers who follow Rule 4.2
Law firms need to rethink what actually matters when time is no longer the measuring stick. For the first time, there is an opportunity to rethink value in law firms.
Happy Wu Wednesday to all those who celebrate.
Yep. This needs to be dealt with at a policy level
Itβs a giant problem for courts
Every major case management platform offers free training courses. Clio, MyCase, Filevine β all of them. If you haven't explored what's available, you're probably doing things the hard way without realizing it.
A wide range of issues. But I do the search and read the cases and balance it against what I already understand.
Iβm not on Westlaw payroll. No dog in this fight. At least for me, it helps me find accurate answers faster. I understand your experience may be different.
Nothing changes in this respect. You couldnβt rely on Boolean searches or associates either.
However, in my experience, which differs from yours, Westlaw AI is more efficient than prior models at serving me what I need.
For example if a lawyer can have agentic case management in many practice areas, they can identify important issues and move cases faster. Westlaw AI is very good. You can research things faster and spend more time with clients or serve more clients. This plays out operationally too.

If you're in a hard season right now, don't let the difficulty convince you that you chose the wrong path. Sometimes the hardest moments are just confirmation that you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
The fear doesn't disqualify you from leading your firm. It just means the stakes matter to you. And that's exactly the kind of person who should be leading.
Running a law firm will test you. That's not a warning. It's a promise. And you will stand in the middle of it wondering if you're built for this. You are.
If you wait for a "good time" to do your important work, that time never comes. Something will always feel more urgent. Make sure your priorities get in there before everyone else's do.
Low hanging fruit for lawyers...When a client asks your paralegal for a referral and the answer is "I don't know" β that's a missed opportunity. A simple referral list fixes that.
Will your law firm need more or less office space in 2031? These are the visionary and operational opportunities that law firm leaders need to think through in the AI ERA.
Good morning to all those who canβt understand why it took until 2025 for Chris Cornell to inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Pro se litigants with ChatGPT will make a lot of money for litigators.
It can. It sure can. And it can also create a ton of leverage when used properly.
