Ok Google, Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Lawyering

handle is hein.journals/marqlr102 and id is 1303 raw text is: OK, GOOGLE, WILL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REPLACE HUMAN LAWYERING? MELISSA LOVE KOENIG, JULIE A. OSEID & AMY VORENBERG* [O]nly humans can argue. Argument is the affirmation of our being ... As a reasoned dialogue, it resolves disputes . . . As a plea, it generates mercy. As charismatic oration, it moves multitudes and changes history. We must argue-to help, to warn, to lead, to love, to create, to learn, to enjoy justice-to be. Gerry Spence, American Trial Lawyer' Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace human lawyering? The answer is no. Despite worries that AI is getting so sophisticated that it could take over the profession, there is little cause for concern. Indeed, the surge of AJ in the legalfield has crystalized the real essence of effective lawyering. The lawyer's craft goes beyond what Al can do because we listen with empathy to clients' stories, strategize to find the story that might not be obvious, thoughtfully use our imagination and judgment to decide which story will appeal to an audience, and creatively tell those winning stories. This Article reviews the current state of AI in legal practice and contrasts that with the essence of exclusively human lawyering skills-empathy, imagination, and creativity. As examples, we use three Supreme Court cases to illustrate these skills. * Melissa Love Koenig is an Associate Professor of Legal Writing at Marquette University Law School. Julie A. Oseid is a Professor of Law and the Morrison Family Director of Lawyering Skills at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Amy Vorenberg is a Professor of Law and the Director of Legal Writing at the University of New Hampshire School of Law. 1.
