We are joined by Dr. Gideon Christian, a lawyer and an assistant professor at the University of Calgary faculty of law. Gideon specializes in legal technology, specifically electronic discovery, artificial intelligence & law, and the environmental impacts of technology.
Our discussion covers:
How technology will impact the practice of law in the coming years.
Why the legal profession has historically been resistant to adopting and using innovative technology.
How law schools need to better expose and train the new generation of lawyers to use the legal tech available to them; and
Why embracing innovation in law is critical to solving the access to justice crisis that affects not only Canada, but many jurisdictions around the world.
If you want to hear more from Gideon, you can follow him on twitter or linkedin (links in the show notes) or better yet, sign up for the Goodlawyer Summit taking place on November 3rd & 4th where Gideon will be gracing the stage as a member of our legal tech panel.
