Episode 8 of the Blacklines & Billables podcast: our discussion with Ed Walters, CEO of Fastcase, on the accelerating march of artificial intelligence and its implications for the law and its consequences for lawyers (and the public at large).
In this episode, we take a fascinating tour through some of the most important and dizzying technological developments of the day, and Ed’s unique brand of incisive, yet level-headed analysis helps us make sense of where we stand, where we’re likely headed, and what the implications are for lawyers, law practice, and our legal framework more broadly.
The fascinating discussion dives into a wide range of topics relating to the development of artificial intelligence and autonomous machines, including: (a) exploring the background and pedagogy of Ed’s course at Georgetown Law and Cornell Tech on “The Law of Robots,” which seeks to engage conversations about the potential need for new legal and regulatory approaches to governing AI-driven technologies; (b) analyzing why NOW is the critical time for lawyers and lawmakers to grapple with foundational legal, moral, and ethical questions raised by the development of adaptive machine learning; and (c) dealing with the social impact—from job losses to over-reliance on technological crutches—of increasingly powerful and autonomous machines.

Part of B&B's "View from the Client Side" series and one of the blog's most popular posts to date, "In-House Looking Out: 4 Tips for Outside Counsel" details four general, yet essential tips that help law firm associates deliver the best possible advice to their clients. Building upon his blog post and drawing on a wealth of experience as a firm-lawyer-turned-in-house-counsel at one of the Big Four accounting firms, Patrick lays out specific tips and tricks--as well as their underlying rationale--to help law firm associates understand not just what they should be doing, but WHY they should be doing it.

Law Firms Launching Legal Tech Incubators, Accelerators, and Venture Arms,” our conversation explores Nextlaw Labs’s “value-added VC” model that seeks to drive the reinvention of the practice of law via technology, examines law firms’ potential motivations for engaging with and investing in the legal tech startup ecosystem, and highlights key trends in the broader legal tech landscape.

Episode 5 of the Blacklines & Billables podcast: our interview with Dan Linna, professor and Director of Legal RnD – The Center for Legal Services Innovation at Michigan State University’s College of Law, discussing Phase 1, Version 1.0, of the new Legal Services Innovation Index, consisting of an “Innovation Catalogue” and “Law Firm Index” to assess, categorize, and catalogue legal industry innovation. Our interview explores the project’s background, scope, current methodology, and plan for the future, including Professor Linna’s hopes that this self-described “MVP” (minimum viable product) will be the first step in a long-term project to create a comprehensive accounting of legal innovation and technology adoption, shining a light on transformative changes in the ways lawyers and law firms—and, in the future, law schools—do business to accelerate the development of better models for delivering more effective and higher value client service.
