The legal profession is having its most complicated AI moment: courts sanctioning lawyers for hallucinated citations while legal departments quietly automate the document work that consumed half their hours. Both stories are true, and navigating between them, capturing the leverage without the malpractice, is precisely the judgment this specialty exists to provide.
The discipline covers contract automation, regulatory compliance AI, legal workflow design, and governance: AI applied to the profession where words are load-bearing.
