Whether AI dilutes quality for good lawyers depends on how AI is used. While we found this here papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… for revising a memo under tight time conditions & cognitive fatigue, we didn't here journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27… where participants used AI from start of each task.

Law school didn’t prepare me for how often the real issue is not legal, just human.

@ryanmckeen Yes.

Lawyers, your clients don't care where you got your law degree. They care whether you called them back.

Artificial Lawyer (AL) posts to report on Clio's ongoing efforts to accommodate large law firms through the rollout of additional agentic/workflow-driven features across key parts of Clio's tech stack. From the AL post: "The agentic wave moving through legal tech is gathering pace and Clio has now rolled out agents for key parts of its platform, including Work and Vincent. It’s also released a range of additional features for Vincent, including a mobile app. "First, in Clio Work customers can now execute multi-step legal tasks with a single prompt. Users can delegate complex tasks with prompts such as ‘build a defense strategy’ or ‘find everything that could kill this deal before signing’, they said. "Clio Work then ‘executes the sequence of steps required to achieve [the goal], leveraging a wide range of contextual data points’. It also shows what it’s doing in real time, so you can stop it and refine it mid-task." artificiallawyer.com/2026/04/08/cli… #legaltechnology #legaltech @goclio @artificial_lawya

Snow this late in April in the Northeast is a bit much.

@RobertHanna_eth @Kcpartners_ @LegalSpeakPod Here's to you!

10 years ago today, I started building @Kcpartners_ Proud to have helped so many lawyers land top jobs and build better careers. Not always easy. Always worth it. Here’s to what comes next. 🚀

Great article. law.com/legaltechnews/…

This AI era yet again exposes what the legal field rarely admits: we’re masters of precedent, not progress. And that’s exactly the problem.

As for this Era of AI, we need to get honest and start having honest conversations about the fact that this era asks something of us that no generation of lawyers has practiced for.

A good read.

Joy and grief share a door. You never know which one is walking through until it's already in the room. Sometimes one does followed by the other.

@lawheroezV2 No avatar or bot here, rest assured.

As a community of legal and Legaltech people on Twitter, it would be great if people could change the names of their accounts to their real names so we’d know who we’re speaking with here. I feel like I’m speaking with a bunch of bots and avatars. 🤖 Not ideal for building relationships, trust, and collaborations . Let’s make this community real and human (again).

@lawheroezV2 I would say rules are the language, not legalese.

Legalese is the programming language for lawyers.

our new AI tool uses AI to create new AI to AI your AI into AI with AI

@ryanmckeen Agreed.

Community is the one marketing channel AI can't replicate. And lawyers are sleeping on it to run more Facebook ads.

My old haunt from years ago.

The risk isn’t AI drafting contracts. It’s firms that never redesign their processes and just bolt tech tools onto broken workflows.

@schizesq I enjoyed it.

My current advice to law students is to TAKE BANKRUPTCY LAW. I know you don’t want to, I know it sounds daunting and miserable, I know you believe your future practice area will never have anything to do with bankruptcy. This is a lie. Please, for the love of god.

@Greydon_T Same

The danger isn't AI giving clients bad law per se. It's lawyers who can't tell the difference between confident and correct.
