AI won’t replace you – a lawyer who uses it will” is quickly becoming a clich� � but what about junior lawyers and the next generation(s)? With the publication of the “Better Call GPT” study, I thought it would be good to finally publish (and update) an op-ed I have been mulling over since April 2023.
The gist of it? We need to talk about how next generations of lawyers will be trained (and how many will be trained) to become capable of adding value � and why not just law firms but also clients should care.
Some of the topics covered: document automation, document review, note taking, apprenticeship, prompt engineering, AI lawyers vs human lawyers, whether human lawyers have added value and for which type of work, billable targets etc.
GenAI like ChatGPT obviously features strongly, but also other kinds of (predictive/discriminative) “AI” tools.
