Session information

Introductory session: is AI really killing the junior lawyer – or just the way we used to work?

Monday 5 October (1115 - 1230)

Committee(s)

Young Lawyers' Committee (Lead)

Description

As artificial intelligence tools transform legal research, drafting and client service, the question isn’t whether technology will replace junior lawyers – it’s how it will reshape their roles. This session will explore how AI is redefining entry-level legal work, from automating routine tasks to enabling deeper strategic engagement earlier in a lawyer’s career. Join us for a candid discussion on skills, expectations and how to future-proof your legal career in an AI-augmented world.
