Carolyn Elefant is tired of talking about whether AI will change the legal profession’s practice of time-based billing. She has a better list of questions. My answers, FWIW:
- AI will not lead to shorter work weeks.
- AI has already changed the way I (& most likely any other lawyers who have actually used AI) analyze cases.
- AI will help expand access to justice by making marginal cases more economic–or at least let’s hope so.
- AI will not expand older lawyers’ careers.
