AI for Lawyers
How Artificial Intelligence is Adding Value, Amplifying Expertise, and Transforming Careers

Artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession — and this book shows lawyers how to harness it. Written by Noah Waisberg and Alexander Hudek, the lawyer-and-computer-scientist team behind the pioneering legal-AI company Kira Systems, AI for Lawyers is an approachable, practical guide to how AI is already reshaping legal work. Drawing on contributions from experts in e-discovery, legal research, expert systems, and litigation analytics, the authors explain how AI improves case outcomes, creates new efficiencies, manages risk, strengthens business development and client retention, and frees lawyers to do more meaningful work. From contract analysis and legal research to judicial prediction and eDiscovery, the book maps the concrete advances driving these changes. Whether you practice in a small firm or a global one — anxious about how AI might change law or eager to capitalize on it — this is an essential guide to the profession's future.
