The Machine Drafts, a Human Signs. How AI is Changing the Legal Profession, Education, and Career

ROMAN YANKOVSKY — a famous lawyer, teacher, author of the LegalTech program at the Higher School of Economics, and development manager of the “Neurolegal” service. In this book, Roman engages the reader in an open and deep conversation about the transformation of the legal profession. Relying on labor market statistics, materials from Russian and foreign research, and his own experience as a lawyer, the author shows how working conditions, approaches to work, and expectations from the profession change over time, compares different generations of lawyers, and explains why old rules no longer work.

A special place in the book is taken by the topic of artificial intelligence. Yankovsky analyzes the technology and defines its place in the profession. He also gives specific advice as a teacher and practitioner: how to master AI tools, implement them in teaching and practical work, and what results this will bring.

The book is written in a lively and accessible language. It will be interesting not only to lawyers but also to anyone who wants to understand how one of the oldest and most conservative professions is changing. This book, like other books by Yankovsky, combines accessible explanation and professional depth.
