Professor S.I. Strong highlights the impact of generative AI on legal education and practice in her article, noting how it leads to 'metacognitive laziness' and diminished self-regulation among users, particularly law students. She proposes a two-tiered legal profession: âpost-AI solicitors,â who would utilize AI for standardized tasks and receive vocational training in its use, and âpost-AI barristers,â who would focus on complex legal issues without AI assistance. Despite potential efficiency gains, the author believes a fundamental structural change in the profession is premature.
Emerging research shows generative AI use in law can lead to metacognitive laziness, undermining critical skills in students and professionals alike.
Professor S.I. Strong proposes a dual-structured legal profession, with âpost-AI solicitorsâ relying on AI for routine tasks, and âpost-AI barristersâ handling complex issues.
