Linked – AI Lawyer “Ross” Has Been Hired By Its First Official Law Firm

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

There are a lot of use cases for this type of automated research tool:

“You ask your questions in plain English, as you would a colleague, and ROSS then reads through the entire body of law and returns a cited answer and topical readings from legislation, case law and secondary sources to get you up-to-speed quickly,” the website says. “In addition, ROSS monitors the law around the clock to notify you of new court decisions that can affect your case.”

I am fascinated by the possibilities and how it will impact the typical structure of a firm, and how lawyers collaborate, or whether they’d even need to as often? I’ve said it before, one of the big advantages to practicing inside of a large law firm is access to other lawyers expertise, research tools, etc. How much does ROSS eliminate that advantage?

This is from New Zealand: “Ms Quince said the reason why she decided to speak out was because it was an “open secret” that those sort of things had gone on in big law companies for years.” Would you say the same about US or UK law firms? Discuss. Seriously, I’m not a woman or…
