ABA TECHSHOW kicked off in Chicago last week with its traditional opening event, the Startup Alley pitch competition, in which 15 legal tech startups present three-minute pitches in pursuit of top honors. The winners of the competition (which I organize and emcee) are selected by popular vote of those in attendance in the audience, which votes registered via an app.

As many of my readers know, I write poetry in free verse, in a conversational style. People have been asking me about ChatGPT's ability to write poetry. The Open AI people obviously have not trained the bot in the arts. Here is a recent colloquy, in which ChatGPT fails to understand "no rhyming, please". This kind of sing song doggerel gives poetry a bad name: write a poem in conversational free verse with no rhyming. "I can do that, my dear friend I'll weave some words, and let them ble

In June 2022, an Amtrak train carrying 200 passengers derailed in Missouri. Less than four hours later, attorney webpages geared toward crash victims and their families were popping up, and in less than 24 hours, law firms were announcing retained clients and new lawsuits. Stories like this illustrate how the modern legal marketplace often has lawyers racing against the clock, and each other, to sustain their practices with new clients.

Helmed by Co-Chairs Gyi Tsakalakis and Jeannine Lambert , the 2023 ABA TECHSHOW returned to the Hyatt Regency in Chicago (March 1-4). This marks the 2nd year of in-person gatherings for this legal technology conference since the Pandemic waned. In a good way, this year’s event felt more like business-as-usual. Regardless of someone’s tech knowledge, there were plenty of programs and access to experts giving a leg-up on law firm operations.

At ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago last week, it struck me that it is conceivable that an attendee could be the third generation within a family to have been to a TECHSHOW. After all, the conference was first held nearly four decades ago, way back in in 1987. That means that, in a multi-generational family of lawyers, an attendee this year could well have had a parent and grandparent attend in some prior year.

First, ChatGPT and generative AI is not going to become the brain of a robot lawyer, dressed up in a suit and tie, that will accompany you to Court. However, AI will certainly be a very smart assistant to you in and out of the courtroom.

Patent due diligence processes take too long. The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
