In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jay McAllister discuss:The evolving role of AI in legal practiceLeveraging AI for business development and marketingEthical and risk considerations when using AI in lawThe future of legal technology and the rise of agentic AI   Key Takeaways:Many law firms have shifted from traditional keyword-based legal research to AI-powered tools that analyze case law and provide curated, context-aware results, significantly reducing time spent on research.Insurance carriers and other clients are leveraging data analytics and AI to challenge the hours law firms bill, forcing firms to adopt more efficient AI-driven workflows.A Stanford AI ethics professor submitted a legal brief with fabricated citations generated by AI, leading the judge to reject it outright and issue a warning that lawyers must verify AI-generated content before submitting it to court.Future AI systems will not only respond to queries but proactively complete legal tasks by recognizing key case milestones, drafting motions automatically, and sending them for attorney review.   "There were jobs that were lost, but ultimately, I don't think of it as a job that was lost. These jobs were transitioned to perform more useful, more useful activities." —  Jay McAllister   Be That Lawyer is now syndicated on Above the Law!
