About the Event
Presented by Will McCartney (Founder @ Habeas)
The gap between AI promises and practical implementation has never been wider. Some firms are genuinely transforming their practice, while others waste resources on flashy solutions that deliver little value.
The Victorian Society for Computers & the Law invites you to a deep dive that cuts through the noise. We’ll map out exactly where AI is already adding value to legal research, drafting, document analysis and knowledge management (and where a cautious hand is still essential).
This webinar will cover:
Today’s AI toolbox, de-mystified – explaining language models, semantic search, and how most modern AI legal tools operate ‘under the hood’ (and why it’s important lawyers gain an understanding of the architecture of different tools to use them correctly).
Case Studies – quick case studies showing how solo practitioners, and firms of different sizes, are trimming hours off routine tasks without inflating risk.
