Description
As artificial intelligence tools transform legal research, drafting and client service, the question isn’t whether technology will replace junior lawyers – it’s how it will reshape their roles. This session will explore how AI is redefining entry-level legal work, from automating routine tasks to enabling deeper strategic engagement earlier in a lawyer’s career. Join us for a candid discussion on skills, expectations and how to future-proof your legal career in an AI-augmented world.
