Whether you’re new to #LawTwitter, the legal community’s cherished social media nook, or have some experience navigating through its tangled webs of sardonic jokes and SCOTUS references, you’ve probably noticed that there are a few “must-follow” legal tweeters who tend to dominate the platform. With thousands of followers and a seemingly endless content pool, these esteemed members of #LawTwitter set the community’s topics of discourse each day - and for good reason: I can’t imagine how dull Twitter might be without David Lat (@DavidLat) and Bob Ambrogi (@bobambrogi) among others.

Despite a wide set of hazy connotations and popular misconceptions surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), this emerging tech sector has solidified its presence across professional service industries - and law is no exception. Indeed, the primary introduction of artificial intelligence to the legal community took place at an international conference held nearly 30 years ago, predating the invention of the worldwide web¹. Since then, growth in AI has appeared to stagnate, with few real-world applications reaching the market. The reality is, however, that AI has been thoroughly researched and developed while in incubation, and the egg is finally about to hatch.
