In today's rapidly changing legal landscape, becoming a digital lawyer is vital to success within the legal profession. Technology and Legal Practice: Becoming a Digital Lawyer is a toolkit for gaining the key attributes and skills required to utilise technology within legal practice effectively.
Digital technologies have already begun a radical transformation of the legal profession and the justice system. The textbook introduces students to all key topics, from the role of blockchain to the use of digital evidence in courtrooms, supported by contemporary case studies and integrated, interactive activities.
The second edition updates reflect the changes that have been brought about by developments in generative AI since the textbook was first published, along with general updates throughout the book. Using this textbook will allow students to identify, discuss and reflect on emerging issues and trends within digital lawyering in a critical and informed manner, drawing on both its theoretical basis and accounts of its use in legal practice.
Technology and Legal Practice is ideal for use as a main textbook on modules focused on technology and law, and as a supplementary textbook on modules covering lawyering and legal skills more generally.
