Lifetime Legacy Lawyers

The question isn't whether AI belongs in a law practice anymore. It's which tools earn their place, which ones still need a human in the loop, and where the ethical lines sit. Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson work through the AI tools landscape as it actually stands for practicing attorneys - what to adopt now, what to approach carefully, and why the goal is to enhance the lawyer's judgment rather than replace it.
