AI Era Necessitates Changes in Legal Training to Preserve Judgment Skills
The legal profession is facing a challenge in maintaining legal judgment skills as artificial intelligence automates many entry-level tasks traditionally used to develop these abilities. A white paper from the Thomson Reuters Institute highlights the need for a reimagined approach to lawyer training, emphasizing work-based learning, micro-skill development, and AI integration. The paper suggests a model similar to medical residencies, where supervised practice is a key component of legal education. This approach aims to ensure that new lawyers develop critical judgment skills despite the increasing use of AI in legal tasks.
