THE BOOK
AI for Lawyers
A practical book on how law firms can use AI, with use cases, working ideas, the risks to plan for and plain explanations of how the tools work.
What the book covers
The book starts with what counts as AI in legal software and how standalone tools differ from features built into the suites your firm already uses. It then sets out the business case, covering where AI saves time on routine work, how it changes the way services are delivered and priced, and why adoption across the market is speeding up.
The longest part covers use cases by type of work, including document review, contract analysis, drafting assistance, research, case management, client intake, billing and knowledge management. Each use case describes the task and what the tools do.
The last part covers the risks a firm should plan for before a roll-out, including system failures, over-reliance, privacy and security. The assessment on this site applies the same approach to your firm’s own answers.
