As a person who is not part of the legal industry but had to deal with the legal process, I would welcome technology becoming more prevalent in the legal industry. My experience was especially tiring due to my residency and jurisdiction of legal case, I was part of, being in two different countries. So I would prepare the reply line by line running into pages during the weeks leading up to the hearing, take an overnight flight to the country of jurisdiction the day before hearing and all my lawyer did was turn up on the day of hearing with a printed copy of my reply wrapped around the standard legal header&#x2F;footer and hand it to the judge. Everytime I turned up, I would find a new junior handling my case who didn&#x27;t know half of the details since the firm takes on so many cases at once. Eventually I got tired and settled just to avoid the stress of spending weekends in airplanes.<p>If I had the choice of registering my appearance via a video conference link, it would have been so much more easier. If a never tiring bot would do the research, it could check for references&#x2F;past cases which a junior can simply not check due to constraints of time&#x2F;energy. My lawyer would have a much more exhaustive list of points to check and assess which applies to my case. So on and on.<p>Technology would result in law firms have to significantly re-evaluate what they do and I think it is high time that happens.
