Is Digital Amplification Transforming the Legal Profession?

The plurality of information accessible to internet users from all generations provides a sense of digital connection, a transcendent relationship that is perhaps considered unprecedented in human history. Within our society, there are precedents of specific industries and companies that have failed to scale into the world of digital transformation. For example, Canada's own Blackberry (formerly known as Research in Motion), transitioned from a smartphone manufacturer to artificial intelligence (AI) based cyber-security solution software company. The lessons showcased that because the world is changing so quickly, various fields are inherently forced to adapt to the technological advancements of processes and methods. The cruel reality is that industries that fail to transition successfully into an era of digital transformation may cease to exist. The legal industry has been quite consistent with its traditional values of the law, and so its methods of teaching have not changed in comparison with other highly regulated professions like medicine.
