Explore prompting, research, drafting, discovery, and document review, alongside the confidentiality and security questions that responsible adoption demands.

03Rethink the economics of work

Consider what AI means for the billable hour, alternative fees, staffing, client expectations, and the value of professional judgment.

04Look beyond the next tool

Examine AI agents and the prospect of legal expertise at scale, with a considered look at competition, regulation, and the future role of the lawyer.
