Law Firm AI Adoption: So Many Choices<\/strong><\/a> — from abovethelaw.com by\u00a0Stephen Embry
\nFirms need to recognize reality, define what their legal professionals need, and then determine how to adopt and govern the use of AI tools.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to be a law firm managing partner in the age of AI. So many choices, so little time. It\u2019s like the proverbial kid in the candy store who has so many choices that they either can\u2019t pick out anything or reach for too much. We see evidence of the first option in 8am\u2019s recent outstanding\u00a0Legal Industry Report<\/a>, authored by\u00a0Niki Black.<\/p>\n

8am\u2019s Legal Industry Report
\n<\/strong>One thing that stood out in the report was the discrepancy between use of AI by individual legal professionals and what firms are doing when it comes to AI adoption and guidance.\u00a0 Almost 75% of those who responded said they were using general purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for work purposes. That\u2019s pretty significant.<\/p>\n

Legalweek: It\u2019s time to re-engineer how legal work is delivered<\/strong><\/a> — from legaltechnology.com by Caroline Hill<\/p>\n

AI for good
\n<\/strong>While focusing on the risks of AI going wrong, it is only fair to mention the conversations I had around using AI for good.\u00a0\u00a0Two\u00a0in particular stand\u00a0out.<\/p>\n

The first is the news from Everlaw that its Everlaw for Good Program has, over the past year, supported more than 675 active cases across 235 organisations, and expanded its support to a growing network of non-profit organisations.<\/p>\n

The program extends\u00a0Everlaw\u2019s\u00a0technology to organisations working to advance access to justice.<\/strong><\/span> In a recent\u00a0survey by\u00a0Everlaw, 88% of legal aid professionals said they are optimistic about AI\u2019s potential to help narrow the justice gap.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMission-driven organizations are increasingly handling complex investigations and litigation with limited resources,\u201d said Joanne Sprague, head of Everlaw for Good. \u201cExpanding access to powerful, easy-to-use technology helps level the playing field so these teams can uncover critical evidence, take on more complex matters, and yield stronger results for the communities they serve.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

LawNext on Location: Visiting Everlaw\u2019s Headquarters For A Conversation with AJ Shankar, Founder and CEO<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from lawnext.com by Bob Ambrogi<\/p>\n

The bulk of our conversation focuses on generative AI, and how Everlaw has approached it differently than much of the market. Rather than bolting on a chatbot, AJ says, Everlaw embedded AI deliberately throughout the platform \u2014 document summarization, coding suggestions, deposition analysis, fact extraction \u2014 always grounding responses in the actual documents at hand and citing sources so users can verify the work. The December launch of Deep Dive, which lets litigators pose a question and get a synthesized, cited answer drawn from an entire document corpus in about a minute, is the feature AJ calls a \u201cnew era\u201d for discovery \u2014 one he genuinely believes represents a categorical shift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
