What are the most exciting developments in legal
technology trends and practices in the last few
months for you personally? What specifically
stands out to you in terms of implementation and
adoption practices?
JOY: It seems impossible to have a legal technology
conversation today without discussing generative AI
(Gen AI).However, what I am hearing from legal tech
leaders is that the excitement around GenAI has sparked
a more general curiosity and enthusiasm about technology
overall. Lawyers want to understand more about how
technology can aid them in their practice, as well as help
them run the business. This is resulting in conversations
that sound like this . . .
Lawyer: "Can AI do x for me in my practice?"
IT Team: "Maybe. However, we have an existing tool
that can do that today. Let me show you."
I personally LOVE this!
