🎙️ AI won’t replace lawyers.But it will reshape what they do.

At RelFest 26 Sydney, Jonathan sat down with Professor Michael Legg from UNSW to explore how legal education — and the profession itself — is evolving in the age of AI.

💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

↳ Law schools still need to teach core legal fundamentals — that doesn’t change
↳ But students now also need technical awareness and AI literacy
↳ The real differentiator? Human skills — judgment, empathy, communication
↳ AI may reduce some roles… but also create entirely new areas of legal work
↳ The future of law will demand continuous learning, not a one-time qualification

One insight that stood out:

Humans need to do the work that technology can’t.

As AI continues to evolve, the question isn’t:

👉 Will there be lawyers?👉 It’s what kind of lawyers will thrive.
