AI for Lawyerspulls together a series of easy-to-read vignettes that cut through the mystique, noise and bullshit surrounding AI for legal. It provides excellent guidance for lawyers who don't know which way to travel when they finally arrive at the intersection of legal services and technologywhich is most of the profession!

Noah Waisberg and Dr. Alexander Hudek have taken a complex topic and made it accessible and enjoyable. Like it or not, artificial intelligence and machine learning, particularly when combined with 5G connectivity, computing on the edge of networks and eventually quantum computing, will advance by leaps and bounds to automate and change the way we practice law. It is also leveling the playing field between lawyers practicing in big firms vs. small firms. Wherever, whatever and however you are currently practicing, AI for Lawyerswill open your eyes and make you feel excited and empowered to be part of the future.

There is little doubt that the legal industry has experienced a cataclysmic extinction moment, where yesterday's ways of working are tomorrow's fossilised memories. The changing expectations of both the consumers of legal services, and the next generations of lawyers, has seen to it that the practice of law has been changed forever by the arrival of advanced technologies.

In AI for Lawyers, Noah and Alex have created the definitive guide on the role of technology in the legal industry. No two authors are better qualified to commentate on how our world is changing. This is a must-read for anyone in the industry and those planning on living a life within the law.

The intersection of science fiction and lawyering is both a terrible idea for a movie and a very real problem for attorneys. The terror that artificial intelligence will replace human lawyers and spew steam from the keyboard while trying to define love during an ill-fated document review terrifies some folks. And that's unfortunate because when stripped of its sci-fi mystique, artificial intelligence here in the real world is both non-frightening and entirely essential to a thriving 21st century law practice. Waisberg and Hudek's book provides lawyers a friendly, brass tacks introduction to this oft-misunderstood technology and provides straightforward examples of how AI can advance your practice and, sometimes, how it's already advanced your practice without you even knowing it.

Joe Patrice, Senior Editor, Above the Law

Although many lawyers have strong views on the use of AI in the law, very few in fact have a solid grasp of the potential and limitations of this technology. Worse, some lawyers even have the temerity to use AI as a verb, claimingalmost arbitrarilythat you can AI this or that legal task. Into this world of bold confusion and brazen conjecture, I therefore extend a heartfelt welcome to AI for Lawyers. This book brings the clarity, deep technical expertise, practical experience, and commercial insight that are sorely needed in the field.

Richard Susskind, author of Tomorrow's Lawyers(2017), The Future of the Professions(2015), The End of Lawyers(2008), and Expert Systems in Law(1987)

Noah and Alex clearly show that the use of AI-embedded software in the legal world will soon be as ubiquitous as the use of word processing. The authors (a Who's Who of experts in legal technology) cover an extraordinarily broad range of AI-software types and applicationsfrom machine learning to expert systems. The book is an essential read for solo practitioners all the way up to those practicing in the lofty heights of the elite firms around the world and for the technology gurus who enable them.
