Why technology can change this work

  • tools automate data preparation, experiments and parts of modelling
  • AI proposes system structures and checks standard constraints
  • case-law search and document analysis are moving to semantic systems
  • standard contracts and filings can be generated automatically
  • large bodies of law and rulings can be machine-compared

What protects the occupation

  • choosing the right objective, data and model-quality criteria
  • choosing trade-offs among cost, reliability, security and future change
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • legal accountability and representation
  • interpretation of ambiguous circumstances
  • negotiation, strategy and client trust
