How will we be consuming insight and commentary in the next two or three years? With AI it’s hardly going to be the same.
Look at the history of the net, something that advanced much slower than AI is advancing.
Twenty plus years ago no one was reading online. Law firms told me it was nuts to think they would
The Library at LexBlog, on the back of AI, is preserving and structuring the published insight of legal professionals worldwide as citable secondary law.
Over one million published works from 73,000 professionals and 4,400 publications already. The publishing is expanding from blogs to articles, alerts, whitepapers and the like.
We’d be remiss if we did not talk to law firms
I barely got into law school, let alone make law review, so after a few decades as a lawyer it’s a real honor to find myself among the leading legal commentators in the world. At least I did so through our Library at LexBlog.
Last week, HeinOnline a product of William S. Hein & Co., Inc., announced the launch of
With AI, law, whether code, regs, cases or secondary law in the form of insight from legal professionals, has moved from text to data.
The Santa Fe Institute has a nice explanation of how we now read the law leading off their study on law as data.

Clio’s CEO Jack Newton shared the importance of context in AI in a post today. “…[E]ven the most powerful model operates in a vacuum without proper context.”
Jack continued: “In legal that context includes statutes, cases, documents, emails, billing records, deadlines and countless other sources of information.”
Jack’s right that the model isn’t the point, the context is. But look
A leading legal publishing and technology executive, whom most of you would know, told me Friday that the strongest thing the Library at LexBlog has going for it is authority. The authority a legal professional would receive via their digital publishing being included in the Library and the authority the publishing itself would receive by being included in the Library.
Well done Clio. The launch of skills in Clio Work is a real example of knowledge integration across a law firm.
Skills, just launched as part of Clio Work, not only enables a lawyer to retain their work and style working with an AI-driven solution, but also enables an entire law firm.
The way a partner likes their demand letters
Twenty-one years ago I wrote about a lawyer’s possible ethical obligation to blog. I asked, “Why not?”
”American lawyers have a moral and social obligation to serve the public. Providing free legal information via a blog whether it be to corporate officers, in-house counsel, consumers or small business people serves the public two ways.
One, legal information will be made
For those of you following along with the building of the Library at LexBlog, I learned something new this week.
You need to include numbers for each paragraph in a published work that is digitally native. Otherwise, the judge and the opposing side cannot see, in particular, what you referenced in a pleading, brief, memorandum or another document.
What this
It’s interesting when you start working on a cause in which you really believe that you start reaching out to people, most of whom you don’t know, to get feedback, insight and help.
I did it when I moved to Seattle 27 years ago to build a virtual legal community of people helping people, lawyers and lay people alike. There
