Futurists predict that in the next ten years the profession of "lawyer" will splinter into job titles like “legal process analyst” or “legal knowledge engineer.” And some in the field are already taking a proactive approach ?— in fact, more than two dozen law schools have developed innovation centers to explore artificial intelligence (AI) and the law. In a competitive marketplace, both firms and individuals need to familiarize themselves with the dazzling array of new products and enhanced features capable of improving efficiency. Written by leading practitioners and visionaries like Robert Ambrogi, this groundbreaking survey of current practices and future trends offers an incisive examination of the evolving roles for law librarians. Readers will learn how AI technology is changing law school curricula, lawyer practice, marketing, and other key aspects of the field through coverage of such topics as
- the benefits of AI to law librarianship, including areas like legal research, contract review, compliance, and administration, and their associated risks;
- four professional ethics rules that apply to the use or (non-use) of AI;
- how lawyers and staff work side by side with AI, utilizing intelligence like RAVN ACE or FastCase to attack the drudgery of due diligence and document review;
- surprising machine-learning insights from tokenizing, stemming, and lemmatizing the text of Shakespeare's plays;
- the potential for chatbots and new natural language processing products to improve access to justice; and
- ways to develop sought-after skills through new technology departments, practice management groups, and legal innovation labs.
Reading this collection will give you a firm grasp of the innovations, tools, benefits, and risks of AI in law librarianship.

The 13 chapters in this volume explain how artificial intelligence tools and applications impact law libraries and the role of law librarians in their implementation, evaluation, and maintenance. Practitioners working in legal librarianship and legal technology in the US, including academic and private law librarians and industry specialists, address core concepts in artificial intelligence, machine learning as applied to Shakespeare, specific artificial intelligence tools and applications, types of artificial intelligence tools in law, practical uses of these tools, related opportunities for the law library, artificial intelligence and legal research and legal education, implications for Access to Justice, ethics, the future of artificial intelligence in law libraries, artificial intelligence resources, and benefits, drawbacks, and risks.
