Description

Learning Legal Technology: A Primer for the Modern Lawyer Nicholas A. Pleasant ISBN 9781531027902

Legal Technology: A Practical Introduction addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern law: technology competence. With 40 states now requiring lawyers to demonstrate technology proficiency, staying current can feel overwhelming. New tools emerge daily, jargon abounds, and the field is broad enough to paralyze even experienced professionals. Questions like “Do I need to code?” or “What exactly is a chatbot?” can make technology seem inaccessible. Terms like malware, metadata, and APIs only add to the confusion.

This book provides an approachable, comprehensive survey of legal technology, breaking complex concepts into simple ideas and clear analogies. It blends conceptual overviews with practical guidance, offering chapters on broad topics such as eDiscovery and cybersecurity, as well as step-by-step tutorials for hands-on skills like document manipulation.

While primarily designed for law students, Legal Technology: A Practical Introduction is equally useful for practicing lawyers and judges seeking a solid foundation in the intersection of law and technology. By demystifying this rapidly evolving field, the book equips readers to embrace technology with confidence, positioning them as forward-thinking professionals ready for the future of legal practice.
