Does AI Build or Erode Lawyer Judgment?

​Hosted by Harvey Legal Innovation Partners: Omar Puertas and Dominic Ferullo

​AI use changes lawyer judgment, but not in one direction. Some workflows sharpen judgment over time. Others quietly substitute for it, and the lawyers using them lose reps they didn't know they needed.

​This session works through which is which, and how to tell the difference inside your own practice. You'll leave with a way to look at your team's AI use and see which lawyers are getting better and which are getting more efficient at staying the same.

​Key Takeaways:

• ​A working framework for distinguishing AI use that builds skill from AI use that substitutes for it

• ​Specific workflow patterns that correlate with judgment development versus erosion

• ​A diagnostic question to take back to your team: where in your practice is AI silently replacing the reps your associates need, and where are people getting more efficient at staying the same?

​Expertly facilitated by Harvey's Legal Innovation Partner team, The Thinking Room provides workshop attendees with the space to explore deeply some of the most important questions for lawyers, law firms and in-house teams in the AI era.
