About this episode

Ed Walters discusses the role of bar associations and the implications of AI in the legal profession.

In certain capacities, artificial intelligence is quite capable of doing quality legal work. It may enhance a lawyer’s workflows, provide new opportunities for access to justice, assist in legal research—the possibilities seem innumerable. So, should we be fearful of its potential? Are we all out of a job? Amanda Arriaga and Patrick Palace welcome Ed Walters to talk through the ethics and opportunities lawyers must consider in the age of AI. Ed focuses on the important role bar associations should play in the lives of all attorneys and highlights the need for thoughtful leadership for AI use as we move into the future. Ed Walters is Vice President of Legal Innovation and Strategy at Clio.
