Gen AI Makes Legal Action Cheap — and Companies Need to Prepare
@HarvardBiz hbr.org/2024/10/gen-ai-makes…
Shows how #LLM could dramatically increase the number of legal filings, and impact of that.
This is the opposite of #DoLessLaw
It's @DoMoreLaw, but not in the way @nwaisb meant

NDAs are too easy - it's hard to find anyone who will publically argue that this is a sane use of everyone's time.
What we need is to combine #DoLessLaw with @CarrNext's 4th wave. Do the things needed to get rid of future problems. Not just less, but focussed on purpose.

Ought being the operative word?
@Gartner_inc #GartnerLegal data shows in-house counsel overestimate risk so overwork matters. #LLM will allow overwork, but faster.
Query: how can #LLM enable #DoLessLaw?

Turns out #GPT4 helps understand/simplify statutory language:
In #lawschool, my prof — a non-technical person — suggested breaking down #statutes into IF THEN statements.
It's helpful to conceptualize [poorly drafted/structured] statutes
GPT-4 does really well at this!

I continue to be stunned by poor drafting I see in legal documents.
Simpler more concise language would often be easier for the drafter the reader.
Is the root cause lack of skill, laziness, false notion that 'complex is better', or other?

Revisiting “Good Enough” in Contract Drafting
@AdamsDrafting adamsdrafting.com/revisiting…
Prompted by Tweets re ChatGPT LLM, Ken worries that 'Good Enough" is costly in hard to interpret K, but in one respect - not negotiating every point to death - it's good.
Agree. #DoLessLaw

The inimitably great @HoraceWu at @LegalTechHub1 Conference:
Great use case: Law firm finds potential violations of businesses' legal rights — and reaches out to them, saying "Might you like our help with this problem?"
Converse of #DoLessLaw — "Do more law that clients need."

Reminds me of document retention guidelines — overly complex, designed by those in the status quo to maintain the status quo. #Decomplexify #DoLessLaw #NextLaw

Outside counsel guidelines should not have obvious clauses, eg:
How to perform a conflicts check
Explanations of ethical rules
No work until retention agreement

Analytics to understand, forecast, and manage matters should be done by all firms. Glad to see some doing it.
I'd also love to see analytics turned to client data to #DoLessLaw (prevention)

I get this — I’d refocus a bit to make lawyers more relevant, more cost effective, more accessible in prevention of legal problems — in other words, what we need are Counsellors Not Lawyers. In @ronfriedmann’s words, #DoLessLaw. In mine, #NextLaw — less law with more impact.

Agree and we need more voices talking about #DoLessLaw, eg, prevention, scoping, budgeting, productized embedded systems, etc

“A lot of legal departments should be doing less.” @bradblickstein
It’s about prioritizing your legal work, figuring out what matters most, and leveraging digitization to tackle those problems head on.
