Richard Mabey, CEO of Juro, discusses the radical idea that by 2027, 80% of legal tasks could in theory be executed without lawyers.

He explores the implications of AI in automating legal tasks, the evolving role of lawyers, and the accuracy of AI-generated legal solutions. Mabey argues that as AI technology advances, the need for human oversight in many legal tasks will diminish, leading to a significant shift in the legal landscape.

(Note: of course, will that happen....? Even if possible, will the market move in that way? Many would argue against this outlook....but Law Punx welcomes all views that are wel thought out. If you'd like to disagree, please get in touch.)
