The innovation of Technolgy in Law

THE INNOVATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN LAW Technology is the catalyst by which the world turns. Over the past several years, technology has had a significant impact on the practice of the law. With the rise of the internet, average Americans have much larger access to legal information than any other over the past several decades. We are living in a technologically advanced age. Like everything else, the legal practice is wired in and integrating technology into every aspect of litigation, The attorneys who do not take advantage of these tools will have trouble keeping up. If you want an attorney who will win your case, you have to find attorneys with the technological edge. Let's consider the fact that a tech-savvy attorney increases your odds of winning the case. Artificial Intelligence will Transform the Field of Law. The law touches every corner of the business world, virtually everything that companies do --sales, purchases, partnerships, mergers, and reorganizations. They do via legally enforceable contracts. Whether we recognize it or not, each of us operates the backdrop of our legal regime and the implicit possibility of litigation. Conventionally viewed as a cost center and largely overlooked by entrepreneurs, the legal function has seen little innovation in recent years. Today, Microsoft Word and email remain the dominant digital tools that legal teams use to carry out their work. Considering the size of the legal market, this represents a significant opportunity for value creation. As artificial intelligence, and in particular natural language processing, continue to mature, they will unlock massive opportunities to transform and revitalize the field of law Drafting the Legal Documents Google Document is the top program for attorneys to draft documents. Google document provides attorneys with powerful and easy-to-use tools and templates. They can rehash case law that was previously researched to expound the contours of a legal defense and create new material at a moment's notice and they save all the documents on a computer hard drive. Before computer programs were available, attorneys were reliant on typewriters, word processors, and hand-written documents to submit anything to the court, these documents took extensive effort to proofread, type and reproduce on paper. The Tech Gadget in Pocket An attorney can now do research and jot down notes concerning a case, no matter where he may be, A mobile application allows attorneys to brainstorm and figure out winning strategies while they are waiting for a restaurant to prepare for dinner. Because 95% of legal work is cognitive, it is easy for attorneys to figure out a case and record key points on a smartphone. they can even use audio recordings that can then be transcribed into text for memorizing the ideas. Electronic Filing Electronic filing changed, how documents are received from the courts and filed. Attorneys no longer have to hunt through filing cabinets and briefcases to find relevant case materials. They can simply organize all the filings in a case by using computer folders named after the client. They can break down the filings even further by separating the filings into different states of litigation, such as pre-trial motions, discovery, objections, and appeals. Electronic Filing virtually eliminates the risk of documents being lost in the mail or delayed, and attorneys can now procrastinate and still meet the strict deadlines. Detailed Research Facility Personal computers have opened up a huge door for attorneys to access specific case-law decisions that may have taken a lifetime to come across the old-fashioned way. Because the laws are becoming more complex, it is necessary to have factually specific cases to persuade judges to rule in your favor. Conclusion Technology is an integral resource in the legal delivery process. It is not replacing lawyers but it is contributing to the demise of traditional legal culture, replacing it with a diverse, competitive, customer-aligned, accessible, and cost-effective one where ‘legal professionals' deploy technology and process to solve business challenges. The legal industry is entering a brave new world, and the old one is not coming back. Technology is not a panacea but it is a potent collaborative tool enabling lawyers to expand legal access to an enormous swath of new consumers and better service existing ones.
