Technology and new rules of engagement are rattling law practice across different states. Arizona and Utah, for example, allow non-lawyers to be law firm partners. California allows legal paraprofessionals - non-lawyers who only have to get a certificate - to practice law. Now, Big Tech and artificial intelligence (AI) are entering the practice of law. Astoundingly, the AI is posting a win rate north of 50%.

These changes - the deployment of AI and the emergence of Big Tech in the legal profession - blur the lines of the practice of law. How do we insulate ourselves from this invasion and distinguish ourselves as lawyers? Today's guest, Robert (Bob) Simon, explores these emerging issues and shares his vision for the future of the practice of law.
