While the legal profession as a whole is still somewhat skeptical of technology and wary of change\u2014especially when compared to other industries\u2014most lawyers now accept the premise that automation and process optimization are essential to managing law firms and legal departments more efficiently in a dynamic, hypercompetitive business environment that is increasingly data-driven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Advanced technologies built into the platform.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics must be included in legal technology platforms rather than dangled as extras for an additional cost. The utility and power of these technologies have the potential to transform the industry if organizations can apply them\u2014at a reasonable, predictable, and sustainable cost\u2014to workflows where they make the most sense. These capabilities are game-changers that can be applied to nearly every facet of legal operations and litigation, whether it\u2019s ECA and TAR in discovery or billing and invoicing or long-term multi-matter management. AI and analytics help organizations leverage data to understand the details of their operations, monitor trends, refine processes, and predict budget and resource requirements.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why more law schools are prioritizing technology integration &#8212; from edtechmagazine.com by Eli Zimmerman Universities are investing in video conferencing, artificial intelligence and more to ensure future lawyers remain competitive and prepared.
