Peer to Peer: ILTA's Quarterly Magazine
Issue link: https://epubs.iltanet.org/i/1515316
5 I L T A N E T . O R G F R O M T H E E D I T O R Is this the last Peer to Peer of 2023 or the first of 2024? . The best answer to that question is, "Yes! It's both." And I'll add that from the perspective of this brand-new ILTAn, joining a larger collective that cultivates and celebrates innovative "both-and" solutions the way ILTAns do is both inspiring and invigorating! The first message I'd like to share with you all, as your newly appointed Editor of Content and Publications, is that getting to know ILTA and members of this community over the past few months has been a phenomenal experience! Last week, after wrapping up the final round of edits, I paused for the realization that two months had passed since I joined ILTA. Had it only been two months? Yes, there it was, inked into a square on my old-school paper planner. How was it possible to experience a timeless sense of natural belonging within a group after only two short two months? I believe this was possible because ILTAns choose to (borrowing a phrase from my favorite Starfleet Captain) "make it so." Many organizations like to include theoretical ideals, like "authenticity," "foster community," and "service-oriented leadership" within their Core Values. It's far more difficult, however, to find collectives like ILTA where individuals strive to uphold the organization's shared Core Values on a practical, day-to-day basis. It is truly a delight to be a part of this community! Now, on to the Main Event – What's inside this double-sized issue! Are you ready to dive into the thrilling possibilities and advancements unfolding within branches of legal tech as we begin 2024? Then, find a comfortable spot and get cozy because this Peer-to-Peer is brimming with not-so-distant future predictions, key considerations, innovative solutions, and process-based insights contributed by those at the forefront of navigating rapidly changing areas of legal landscapes. As many of you would suspect, a significant portion of articles highlight issues and solutions surrounding how digital data is collected, stored, organized, presented, and protected. And if we can confidently predict one thing about 2024, it is that Gen AI will continue to be one of this year's hottest topics! As a special treat, this issue contains a bonus section devoted entirely to Gen AI predictions for 2024 and beyond. Where is #legaltechnology headed? Is there an elusive Legal 3.0 out there somewhere, forming beneath the surface, waiting for the ideal time to emerge? I'm not sure. But what I do know is that it's an honor and privilege to serve and support this community as you work together to figure it all out! Happy Reading ILTAns!!!
