The use of generative AI in a legal practice - a giant leap forward?
Thursday 8 August 2024
Professor John Swinson and Stephen Foley will give a very practical presentation discussing how artificial intelligence can be applied to legal practice today, and the likely impact on legal practice in Australia in the coming years.
They will show how individual lawyers can apply currently available artificial intelligence tools to their daily practice, discuss the limitations of those tools, and give examples of the kind of legal practice management applications that artificial intelligence will make widely available.
John is a professor of law at The University of Queensland. John teaches cybersecurity law, Internet law, and AI law. He was a partner at King & Wood Mallesons for over 20 years with a principal focus on technology law and intellectual property law. John has computer science and law degrees from UQ, and received his LLM from Harvard Law School where he was a Fulbright and Frank Knox Scholar. John passed the NY bar examination and practiced technology law in NY State for six years during the first dot com boom.
Stephen has 30+ years’ experience developing transcript and document management systems for barristers and courts in Australia, UK and USA. Both his grandfather and father were barrister clerks and over his career he has developed practice management systems for many of the Lists in Melbourne, as well as transcript management systems including ‘Transcript Analyser’ and ‘LiveNote’.
