This column discusses an article that was written by Elaine Mcardle discussing the need for law firms, lawyers, and recent graduates to adapt to changing technology. Lawyers are facing increasing digitization and outsourcing, which is analogous to the situation of taxi drivers being replaced by Uber. Legal professionals will need to figure out how to adapt to this changing reality. This article discusses some of the programs that are in place to help guide legal professionals through these rapid changes in technology. “A program recently created by Michele DeStefano of the University of Miami Law called LawWithoutWalls is meant to foster innovation in the legal profession.” Attorneys who want to adapt and stay ahead should stay informed about the constant changes in legal technology.
