Abstract
This paper addresses the effect of emerging technologies on legal knowledge.
How, I ask, does the practice of law address the products of legal AI, specifically
the products of ‘predictive coding’? Legal AI is not simply an efficiency tool:
ultimately its distinct character generates interesting and challenging dynamics
in everyday legal practice, diffusing practice across multiple sites and displacing
the individual as the ‘knowing’ actor. Legal AI in other words makes manifest
knowledge’s status as a social artefact, with the law firm itself as the method of
its discovery.
