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?

I’m not a lawyer. However, I’d agree with this assessment of the First Amendment, social media platforms are actually free to censor as much, as little, and with as much bias as they want, and this latest ruling on a public access cable station seems to confirm that. “So, uh, yeah. If you’re arguing that…

Non Lawyer Staff and Marketing

I found it somewhat interesting that both of these articles came to my attention yesterday, as they both deal with something I haven’t seen many people talk about, let alone firms that actually embrace the idea. They both mention the importance of non-lawyer staff of law firms in building relationships, networking, and attracting clients to…
