CHICAGO — Futurists predict that in the next ten years the profession of “lawyer” will splinter into job titles like “legal process analyst” or “legal knowledge engineer.” And some in the field are already taking a proactive approach ⁠— in fact, more than two dozen law schools have developed innovation centers to explore artificial intelligence (AI) and the law. Written by leading practitioners and visionaries like Robert Ambrogi, “,” published by 91��ý Editions, is a groundbreaking survey of current practices and future trends. Edited by Ellyssa Kroski, in this collection readers will learn how AI technology is changing law school curricula, lawyer practice, marketing, and other key aspects of the field. Its coverage includes:

• the benefits of AI to law librarianship, including areas like legal research, contract review, compliance, and administration, and their associated risks;
• four professional ethics rules that apply to the use or (non-use) of AI;
• how lawyers and staff work side by side with AI, utilizing intelligence like RAVN ACE or FastCase to attack the drudgery of due diligence and document review;
• surprising machine-learning insights from tokenizing, stemming, and lemmatizing the text of Shakespeare’s plays;
• the potential for chatbots and new natural language processing products to improve access to justice; and
• ways to develop sought-after skills through new technology departments, practice management groups, and legal innovation labs.

Kroski is the Director of Information Technology at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of numerous books, including “Law Librarianship in the Digital Age,” for which she won the AALL's 2014 Joseph L.
