Call for Papers: Artificial Intelligence and the Practice of Law
The South Carolina Law Review will host its 2018 Symposium on February 9, 2018, at the University of South Carolina School of Law.
The symposium will focus on “Artificial Intelligence and the Practice of Law” and will specifically examine the implications of artificial intelligence on the practice of law, legal professionalism, and legal ethics. The practice of law will change dramatically in the coming years, and the advent of programs such as Ross Intelligence, IBM’s Watson Intelligence, LexMachina, and Codex will potentially reshape the future of the legal profession.
The future of artificial intelligence and its effect on the law is certain to impact the legal job market. However, potential job losses may be offset by growth in legal tech jobs. How will this shape the legal marketplace across the country? How can law firms ensure they will stay afloat through this dramatic shift in the everyday practice of law? How will this new high tech legal market change the manner in which lawyers provide services to clients? These issues and more will be addressed during the South Carolina Law Review’s 2018 Symposium.
The South Carolina Law Review seeks thoughtful, insightful, and original papers addressing the broad range of topics related to Artificial Intelligence and the Practice of Law. Interested authors should submit a 500-word abstract to [email protected] with the subject line “A.I. and the Law” by September 30, 2017, for consideration. Interdisciplinary works are welcome from academic professors or legal practitioners. If selected, a completed paper (6,000–18,000 words) will be due to the South Carolina Law Review Editorial Board by January 1, 2018.
