Augmented Lawyering (Asia/Australia)

How will artificial intelligence (“AI”) and associated digital technologies reshape the work of lawyers and structure of law firms? Legal services are traditionally provided by highly-skilled humans—that is, lawyers. Dramatic recent progress in AI has triggered speculation about the extent to which automated systems may come to replace humans in legal services. A related debate is whether traditional business models and forms of organisation in the profession will be disrupted. This lecture will presents findings from a comprehensive empirical study of the implementation of AI in legal services, encompassing interview-based case studies and survey data. The discussion will focus on two inter-related issues: how the nature of legal services work will change, and how the firms that co-ordinate this work will be organized.

Join us on Friday 24th November for an exclusive webinar for alumni, friends and supporters of Oxford Law based across Asia and Australasia.
