>> So does this spell the end of humanity? Not at all. On the contrary, the use of AI can actually help lawyers expedite their work, and free them up to focus on tasks that still require a human brain.

"Having the AI do a first review of an NDA, much like having a paralegal issue spot, would free up valuable time for lawyers to focus on client counseling and other higher-value work," said Erika Buell, clinical professor at Duke University School of Law, who LawGeex consulted for the study. <<

This is so wrong. All it does is further reduce easy billables. Essentially the more easy billables soaked up by technology, the more you have to fill your 2000 hour bucket with very tough ones.

Lawyers aren't done here.

But I reject the notion that this is in any way good for practicing attorneys. Hell, even shit like redlining software has been bad -- those were easy hours that required precision but not a lot of difficult thinking.

Not to mention, it sounds good on paper but has the potential to create serious fuckups. I once had a review where the client insisted just on using tech and didn't want any attorney time spent on review. I decided to skim through the production set before it went out anyway (not intending to bill for it, it just made me nervous to not have any idea what was in there). Lo and behold, the client's fucking SETTLEMENT STRATEGY OUTLINE was in there.

To be fair, you're probably right.

That said, there was a lot of money at stake but it wasn't hugely complex, so they wouldn't have saved anything. And it turned out that it wasn't the tech, it was the vendor fucking up and forgetting a couple important terms. And I got to bill a ton for the review anyway once I spoke to the client and the partner to tell them how the computer had fucked up.

precisely

the same thing is happening in the accounting industry, albeit not at this same pace

it's going to reduce the need for accountants and lawyers. of course lawyers and accountants will still be needed, but far fewer of them i predict.

i actually don't think it will reduce client costs that much because if lawyers are forced to really only do the highest value work, then rates will almost certainly increase to reflect that.

It might shrink the number of lawyers but not the fees.

For example, let's say i'm working on a deal with a personal rate of $700 an hour. That rate is used for all my time, regardless of whether i'm doing technical deal structuring, redrafting a merger agreement, or reviewing contracts for CoC provisions or providing non-substantive edits to disclosure schedules. Clearly some of those hours are more difficult than others, and if i were to price discriminate I'd charge maybe $1,000 for the former and $500 for the latter.

Well, if I am no longer doing the more mindless work that needs to get done because software is doing it all, then i'm only providing clients with hours that are the most technical and difficult of all my hours. Accordingly, I might very well not want to do that work unless I am compensated at a higher rate.

The problem is that every other lawyer has their soft hours cut, too. So the guy charging $1,500/hour suddenly has to take your $1000/hour "tough" work to fill his day. The same number of mouths with a shrunken supply of food is never going to be beneficial overall.

i didn't necessarily say i would be the one benefiting, nor did i say anyone would benefit -- i said certain lawyers would survive and would raise rates to reflect the more difficult total work they were being asked to accomplish. that still leaves a lot of lawyers who would need to leave the profession.

the equity partners are not going to want to lower their PPP, so they will just hire fewer associates, get the software to do the grunt work, get the associates they do hire to do the higher level tasks, and somehow try to raise rates for their clients (good luck with that)

No, you don’t. lol every major software company has a dedicated graphic design team. Any team poor enough to force the developers to do UI (usually a shoestring startup working towards a prototype) obviously doesn’t care about the quality of the UI (which was your reasoning for why AI couldn’t replace programmers). 99% of programmers (yes including front end js) know nothing about design.

Have you actually used any of the UI frameworks? There are already cross platform tools that can design for several devices at once (Windows, iPhone, android).

Of course, the automation of the car industry will reduce accidents and, as a result, reduce car wreck cases, but ppl will find another way to hurt/kill themselves.

Computers won’t write reports to insurance adjusters evaluating the ability of the lawyer on the other side or what the jury will lean towards at trial. Too unpredictable and the entire point of those reports is to blame the lawyer if the case goes awry so the adjuster doesn’t get in trouble

I’ve always figured the practice of law was totally fucked since the day i read about deep neural networks. soon it’ll be child’s play for AI to mark up transaction documents for different deal structures and client priorities. In fact interactions between programmable AI that produces a draft with optimal terms in seconds maybe replace wasteful human vs human negotiation

Whereas humans can't possibly process and learn from experience.

In any event, AI/ML has several deficiencies that we suck at overcoming. The first is that it is inherently not creative. What it can do is look back to prior history and based on how it has seen the issue addressed it can select a solution. But create a totally new solution isn't in the cards. The second is that AI/ML sucks at understanding human socialization, which has a bunch of bizarre rules. Recall the AI that got shut down because it quickly became openly racist.

Hard to get beyond your “humans learn too” point because it makes me wonder if you’re familiar with recent developments in the field. This is like saying “humans can run too” when someone mentions moving at the speed of light.

I wouldn’t be tethered to what AI/ml can do today vs what’s they’ll likely do over time. Their development won’t actually be limited by human cognition

You will still have human decision makers who will insist on being briefed on the details of all major contracts. There’s no speed bonus involved if the commercial significance is too high, not is there a clear right answer on a hundred different hard calls in a significant contract. That means the outcome necessarily relies on senior execs being briefed and the software is at most a persuasive data point. It’s true this means the work currently being done can be covered by fewer people, but the software also creates the opportunity for several important agreements to be more thoroughly vetted and socialized within the company to improve the senior exec decision making process.

Just do argue to shareholders that fiduciaries duties were fulfilled by automated software without double checking any of the work product, Mr. CFO and Mr. General Counsel. I’m sure the board will understand. After all their key metric in measuring your performance on major transactions like a strategic acquisition is time to close.

Any company paying a lawyer to hold the pen on a negotiation of a runrate commercial contract is fucking idiotic anyway. Most mid to large companies have staffs of contract managers that will be fucked by this, but any giant/complex and big dollar contract will require a human to handle it because some part of upper management will actually care to know the details. Good contracts managers will be kept to basically review the software’s work product and hassle the vendor about anything it fucks up/new features the customer wants/lowering license fees, etc. It’s the median contracts manager who has a job because she knows the state procurement regs for 5 states in the southwest who will get fucked by this the hardest.

You are not understanding the distinction between rote, standardized tasks and major tasks with the potential to cause a huge problem for the business. The former will all become digitized/automated, you’re absolutely right about that. The latter necessarily have to be run through fiduciaries to shareholders and those fiduciaries can’t just say “welp I’m off the hook to make this call because the software does it now.” You would have to revise the basic tenets of all of the Anglo-American commercial legal tradition.

No you’re still not getting it, and LOL at the suggestion that fairness opinions are somehow not rote. The retarded analyst gets replaced doing a DCF. But for anything implicating a senior exec’s duities as a fiduciary “the software says so” won’t be an acceptable answer. It is likely to become a very persuasive point in any discussion of how to proceed, but there are still going to be humans who have to understand the software’s reasoning as well as the result it reached in order to fulfill their legal obligations. That same process will also be available to be leveraged for any decision where the significance of the impact outweighs the value of a shorter time to close, so one of the key effects of the software is expanding the zone of issues that top senior execs have available for review.

State of the art neural networks are quite close to if not already beyond humans in their ability to compress English language.

If you want a sense of what percentage of the capabilities of AI people will tap 10 years from now, take a look at what people are doing on their phones and computers today.

1. Important guy needs a doc - does he use the search function in his email or the advanced document management system? Nope - fire off an email to a few highly-paid professionals: "plz send me the doc".

2. Time to draft a merger agreement - pull up the standard template with fixed organization and then select key provisions from the comprehensive database based on client needs and strategic considerations? Nope - open last agreement for same client and two random precedents, start copying and pasting until you have an incomprehensible mish-mash that will show enough redlining to look like a solid amount of work, but not so much redlining that it looks like you ignored the client's precedent. Send this to senior lawyer, who handwrites miscellaneous thoughts in the margin: ("don't we have another precedent for this provision - think maybe it was the XYZ deal - or something else for client ABC - ask Steve") ("did you send this IP rep to the IP team?") ("doesn't work") (*illegible scrawl*). After a few rounds of this process, send draft and an email with a list of questions for the client. Have a conference call on which the client hasn't read anything and alternates vague instructions, yelling at people, and taking other calls.

3. Raising a private fund, we need investors to answer 50 technical questions with yes/no or brief answers. Do we have an agreed template for this process (which is basically the same for all funds and investors)? Nope. Do we have a website form to solicit answers? Nope. Do we use a database to compile answers? Nope. Do we save answers that an investor submits to Fund A in a way where the investor can easily use the same answers for Fund B? Nope. We send the investor a lightly customized PDF for the fund in question, which he will likely print and fill out haphazardly with a pen, occasionally skipping a page, and then scan on the world's worst scanner and email back (the file will be 50 MB but still illegible in places). A team of highly-paid professionals will review the draft and send comments. In response, the investor will revise with a different color pen. After a few rounds of this process, one of the highly-paid professionals will enter the final information into a spreadsheet by hand.

Until we replace all the humans with AI, the remaining humans in the system will create plenty of work for one another. And once we complete the replacement, we will probably have better things to worry about than legal employment (or not, maybe our AI overlords will be great bosses - in any case, they'll probably be better than boomers).

The case for AI replacing lawyers is way overblown.

1) Unlike say medicine or accounting, people are going to keep paying lawyers to read and understand boring agreements no one else wants to read.

2) What does the AI even do? Like the people who think its going to replace contract attorneys seem to think lawyers just write contracts from scratch or some shit. But really both sides are just tweaking forms anyway. So even if the AI conjures up its own form, someone still needs to go through and say "oh there is going to be X reserved" "oh Y assignment has to be permitted" - there just isn't a lot of benefit to outsourcing it to computers because you'd just have to tell the computers all this shit anyway - and then sophisticated clients would still want to tweak it for shits and giggles.

So basically all I read here is “contrary to all of human history, inertia and regulatory capture will keep legal fees grossly inflated in the face of groundbreaking and exponentially improving technology. Also I don’t understand the full scope of machine learning’s potential capabilities and their implications for the profession but lemme opine nevertheless.”

This conversation would’ve been so, so much better had everyone taken the time to read the wiki on deep learning and appreciated the fact legal services are universally viewed as a grossly expensive cost center. A profession based on the logical application of formal rules and precedents is UNIQUELY tailored for ass rape by artificial intelligence. And I assure you corporate managers will gleefully shred legal spending once technology affords them the chance to do so

Other people are leaning hard as fuck on the idea that legal rules requiring standards of diligence and knowledge will protect the grossly inefficient system of unnecessary paper pushing in the face of objectively superior technology for doing pretty much all of the work currently done by transactional lawyers. This is adorably nieve - I think it’s seems far, far more likely that NOT utilizing clearly superior technology to the extent possible becomes a greater source of legal risk than preserving an increasingly obsolete system of human paper pushing.

Has anyone read the study?

The AI used the equivalent of the microsoft word synonym function to categorize each term in the document.

Cluster of synonyms related to confidentiality = "this is the confidentiality term" That is the extent of the 'issue spotting'

Doesn't speak much to the value of law school then, does it?

That can't be true. People in this thread have assured us that AI is only years away from becoming perfect, self-teaching legal experts, and that the Constitution will be amended to replace Supreme Court justices with Watson.

In my new job I basically oversee two dozen programs to automate legal and trade clearance tasks. Half the shit we are automating is stuff like sending lawyers emails about statutory filing deadlines related to clearing house shit. Zero of the stuff we are automating will cost one lawyer a job. It will cost paralegals and secretaries jobs since shit like calendaring shit and changing the dates on last years shareholder consents to reuse them this year will now be done by software.

That's interesting. Of course nobody believes anything you have to say about anything, but thanks for the example.

And even this is overrated - you ever try creating a letter in word? Takes fifteen minutes to wrangle the appropriate fields so you don't have to mannually type and position "yours truly".

The software will no doubt have fourteen fields that need to import information from twelve different databases just to be able to say <field error! consult!##usermanual>
