New challenges face the profession

Today’s law graduates enter the profession in extraordinary times, artificial intelligence, no longer exist simply in the realm of science fiction. Chat GPT and other similar AI chat bots loom on the horizon presenting new challenges for any profession that employs a written word as its medium.  

 
Additionally, as the world becomes increasingly technological and connected concerns about individual privacy, and even our so-called right to be forgotten to arise as uniquely 21st century challenges.  In light of our interconnectedness, the legal profession has been called upon re-examine some of the fundamental tenants of our democracy. 

The founders of our country could not have envisioned the endemic of misinformation that reaches millions of people in the blink of an eye.  The resolution of these issues will be one of the great challenges for this generation of law graduates. 
 
It is these extraordinary times that this generation of law professionals will, no doubt, be called upon to imagine.  Today's law graduates will be called upon as policy makers, social influencers, and legal scholars to reshape and confront these issues for the greater good.

On the bright side...
