Quick Tour of 🆕 LawDroid Manifesto

Hey rebels, Tom here 👋. I’m going to cut straight to the chase: legal is changing fast.

If you’re practicing the same way you did in 1995 (maybe even 2015), you’re in for a rude awakening. But if you’re curious, resourceful, and a little bit rebellious, the next phase of law can be your playground.

To keep up with the pace of change, I’ve revamped our playground. LawDroid Manifesto has a new look and a new format and I’d like to give you a quick tour..

Why We’re Here

LawDroid Manifesto isn’t just another newsletter, it’s our rebel base.

Think of it as the hangout for lawyers, technologists, and legal-adjacent tinkerers who want to learn, build, and thrive with AI, without the hype, the gatekeeping, or the fear-mongering.

* Mission: Empower solos, small and medium firms to use generative AI as a creative collaborator, re-imagining how legal services are delivered.

* Vibe: Punk-rock optimism: direct, upbeat, occasionally irreverent, always actionable.

* Community nickname: I hereby deputize you as a Legal Rebel (because polite disruption is still disruption).

How to Navigate

Free vs. Paid—What’s the Difference?
