The legaltech book
Offering an entry point to examine
the current state of new digital technologies in law, The LegalTech book
provides an accessible overview of the legal sector covering a broad range of
topics. I see this collection serving two purposes; (i) reaching a wide
audience of legal practitioners of varying techno-skill levels and (ii) building
interest around the practical implementation of either current or forthcoming
innovations in legal practice.
The authors seem to implicitly ask, ‘will
the practice of law look different than it does now in 2 – 5 – 10 years?’ The
answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced the
legal sector to change – radically – and it is not reasonable to believe this
forward momentum will stop.
The LegalTech book is valuable because
it provides insight into the field, tackling topics like Law and Data (Chapter
2), Technology vs Law (Chapter 3), Access to Justice (Chapter 6) and the Future
of Legal Technology (Chapter 8) , or by looking into a specific technology
application like AI (Chapter 1), Cryptocurrencies (Chapter 4), or Smart
Contracts (Chapter 5).
As a reference resource that is short
and to the point, this book is a highly recommended primer on legal tech.
It’s one that I’m sure I’ll return to as I wade deeper into the space. The digital
transformation is certainly redefining the legal sector, this book will help
you stay current.
