Legal training has long followed a guild system: law schools teach doctrine, then new lawyers learn to practice by working alongside experienced attorneys. This apprenticeship model may have worked well decades ago, but it's increasingly problematic today. And it particularly doesn't work well when it comes to GenAI since all too often younger lawyers know more about the tools than more experienced lawyers.
Mollick notes in his book that AI tools have the capacity to create enhanced expertise on anything and everything by everyone and anyone. This dynamic is already playing out in legal practice. Want to be an expert on non disclosure agreements? You can do several AI prompts and get much of what you need to know to get by, at least for more routine questions.
