had a department meeting today. in it they discussed how over the last 4 years the number of law school applications has gone down by 37%. part of the concern is fear by some that the same deregulation that englang and austrialia and soon to be canada has in regards to who can 'practice law' or 'run a law firm' etc will come to the states, leaving it less lucrative individually to a lawyer (even though more lucrative overall). in the uk and kangarooland businessmen can now run law firms, and aussies actually started a publically traded law firm. as the talk went on they discussed some future state of the law business, expecting it to most likelyshift to this deregulated regime where you can get your legal papers done from places like legalzoom and more and more current paralegal work is shifted towards computers and the nature of paralegal work changes. but there were other visions discussed, such as swarm law, which i thought was a humorous name. individual lawyers who swarm only when needed but otherwise practice outside of the traditional law firm. oh and of course there was the other idea, which has to do with using big data to be able to ask a computer legal questions and come up with accurate answers, which is what i'll be working on in the immediate future, that would eventually make lawyers obsolete but i doubt that would happen entirely
