About this episode

This episode explores how AI is reshaping legal supervision, training, and young lawyer development.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how junior lawyers develop core legal skills and how they are supervised and mentored. In this episode, Allens’ Lisa Kozaris and Caitlin Dagher share how AI in legal supervision has minimised the grunt work, created space for higher value thinking and changed the dynamics of the mentorship between senior and junior lawyers. Tune in to hear some real-life examples from inside one of Australia’s largest law firms, including programs to improve digital literacy, and why open conversations about AI matter for building confidence and good judgment. The episode also offers practical advice about how firms can support experimentation, set clear boundaries and recognise the digital strengths junior lawyers bring to legal practice. This is essential listening for practices big and small developing the next generation of lawyers in a rapidly changing profession.
