Legal engineers spurring the use of high-tech and AI in the law
There is an ongoing hiring spree to snag up legal engineers. This is a relatively new role in the legal profession. The idea is to have specialists that are well-versed in both software engineering and the law and the practice of law. Such specialists are avidly being sought by law firms, vendors, courts, consulting firms, startups, and the like. Those versed in AI are commonly referred to as AI legal engineers or legal knowledge engineers.
