ABSTRACT
The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the legal domain represents a paradigm shift in the supply, accessibility, and idea of legal services. The article delves into the expanding use of AI in legal practice, such as its potential to make legal work more efficient and consequences of AI on legal ethics, employment, and access to justice. By executing routine tasks such as document reading, legal research, contract review, and predictive analysis, AI platforms are reshaping conventional workflows and enabling law firms to deliver quicker and cheaper services. But these benefits come with huge hurdles in the form of data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the threat of excessive dependence on machine-based decisions in sectors demanding human judgment.
The paper examines current AI applications in the law in a critical manner, employing case studies and emerging technology. The paper examines the increasing application of AI in the practice of law, in relation to its ability to enhance efficiency as well as its implications on legal ethics, employment, and access to justice. By automating mundane tasks such as review of documents, legal research, contract analysis, and predictive analytics, AI systems are transforming conventional workflows and enabling law firms to deliver quicker and less expensive services. But these benefits come with huge challenges in the form of data privacy issues, algorithmic bias, and dangers of excessive machine judgment in matters requiring human judgment.
Employing case studies, emerging technology trends, and regulatory responses, this paper critically analyses the application of AI in the legal profession presently. It gazes on the adoption of AI tools into legal advisory, litigation, compliance, and due diligence procedures. The research also investigates how AI could influence legal education and professional responsibility, with a focus on the need for lawyers to acquire new skills in digital technologies.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the legal profession marks a fundamental shift in how legal services are provided, accessible, and envisaged.
