(146) Access to Justice + Subscriptions with Sateesh Nori of Just-Tech, LLC
Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode with Sateesh Nori of Just-Tech, LLC:
* AI and Technology Are Transforming Legal ServicesThe legal profession is undergoing a major shift as AI tools like RAG bots (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and platforms such as Paxton are making legal information and services more accessible, efficient, and affordable. These technologies can help lawyers serve more clients at scale and reduce overhead.
* The Billable Hour Model Is Outdated and RestrictiveThe traditional billable hour model limits access to justice, incentivizes inefficiency, and perpetuates a pyramid scheme within law firms. Alternative fee arrangements, especially subscription models, empower lawyers to focus on value and client outcomes rather than time spent.
* Access to Justice Remains a Critical ChallengeA vast majority of Americans’ legal needs go unmet each year due to high costs and systemic barriers. Technology and new business models can help bridge this gap, allowing lawyers to serve the “latent legal market” and provide affordable legal help to more people.
* Legal Education and Professional Culture Need ReformLaw schools and the broader legal culture are slow to adapt to technological change and alternative business models. There’s a need for legal education to teach technology, business skills, and new ways of delivering legal services, rather than focusing solely on traditional paths.
* Actionable Legal Information vs. Legal AdviceThe line between legal information and legal advice is blurry and often protectionist. AI tools can provide actionable legal information at scale, but regulatory frameworks need to evolve to allow innovation while protecting consumers. Lawyers should embrace these tools to remain competitive and relevant.
