The Cambridge Handbook of Lawyering in the Digital Age cover

A comprehensive analysis of the practical and theoretical challenges surrounding the use of technology in legal practice.

This book gives legal practitioners, academics, and law students a comprehensive look at the main impacts of artificial intelligence use in legal practice. Contributors identify the main challenges surrounding a legally compliant and ethical development of AI and craft a framework for analyzing the costs and benefits of new technology.With increasing digitalization and the evolution of artificial intelligence, the legal profession is on the verge of being transformed by technology (legal tech). This handbook examines these developments and the changing legal landscape by providing perspectives from multiple interested parties, including practitioners, academics, and legal tech companies from different legal systems. Scrutinizing the real implications posed by legal tech, the book advocates for an unbiased, cautious approach for the engagement of technology in legal practice. It also carefully addresses the core question of how to balance fears of industry takeover by technology with the potential for using legal tech to expand services and create value for clients. Together, the chapters develop a framework for analyzing the costs and benefits of new technologies before they are implemented in legal practice. This interdisciplinary collection features contributions from lawyers, social scientists, institutional officials, technologists, and current developers of e-law platforms and services.

'I recommend this book for all academic law libraries, law society libraries, legislative libraries, and the libraries or collections of other organizations wanting to develop a greater understanding of legal technology.' Sandra Geddes, Canadian Law Library Review
