I am more expert than most of the people in the world about The Wire, James Baldwin, Breaking Bad, David Foster Wallace, the films of Quentin Tarantino, and many, many other topics. This is not because I know much but because I know anything. The baseline used makes my claim to status meaningless. Only
The inexorable advancement of technology: an opportunity or a threat for the legal sector?
This is the fourth talk from the the ILTA Session – Legal Technology Innovation – Bolstering and Destroying the Legal Profession. This is from Stuart Barr, COO at HighQ.
A lot has happened in the AI world in the last year. Robots can now create art, learn how to play computer games
Barriers to Innovation: Improvement as Indictment of the Past
Pat Lamb, who I mentioned in my last post, recently wrote a piece that while excellent was not exactly groundbreaking. Or so I thought. Pat’s premise was that everyone makes mistakes. Everyone includes lawyers. Mistakes happen. Mistakes are bad. We should therefore learn from mistakes to avoid repeating mistakes. Towards this end, Pat explained
What are humans good for … in legal services?
This is the third talk from the the ILTA Session – Legal Technology Innovation – Bolstering and Destroying the Legal Profession. This is from Michael Mills, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Neota Logic.
I decided to come at the technology question from the human side, to speculate about what humans are still good

The Napsterization of Legal Services
Two weeks ago I spoke on a panel at ILTA in a session entitled, Legal Technology Innovation – Bolstering AND Destroying the Legal Profession. Interestingly, the original title was Bolstering and Destroying Legal Work, which didn’t seem nearly as wimpy when we submitted it, as it did after the revised title was published.

As my soon-to-be five year old gets increasingly enthralled by super heroes (and Legos and Star Wars), I find myself watching many animated series where the chain of events commonly commences with a super villain’s prison break. Gotham’s lax security protocols are the source of
No Offense, But Aren't You Embarrassed To Open Your Mouth?
“No offense, but….”
I can’t help but perk up when a sentence starts that way.
“No offense, but how did a mid-level lawyer at mid-tier company get so much pub for saying something that everyone already knows?”
I’m paraphrasing. But someone recently asked me that question. I couldn’t be offended. I

Lee beats the crap out of an ILTACON straw man. He warns readers against the
