Couldn’t make this year’s ClioCon? Don’t know why you would if you could? Jeff is on location in Austin, Texas, and reports in on the latest legal tech trends, like:
- The death of the billable hour? A review of attorney tasks suggests 70% could be done with AI. This could mean more shops switch to flat fees. It could mean they increase their hourly rates. But if you’re not even in the AI game, you may soon find yourself among the dinosaurs.
- Worried that AI will steal from your billing? Wisetime does the opposite—it tracks what you do so that you bill more time, not less. It’s a chatbot on steroids.
- Clio Duo is another “gateway drug” to AI, giving attorneys and staff an AI assistant to fetch details from the Clio matters.
We also discuss the new Doxing Victims Recourse Act, Civil Code section 1708.89, which creates a cause of action for online doxing—publishing a person’s personal identifying information (including a photo) with the intent of causing harm to that person. Another dicey intersection between harassment and Free Speech.
