Chatbots and Collaboration Skills

Lawyers will increasingly need to work with other lawyers and non-lawyers to deal with the expanded challenges around technology, such as e-discovery, big data, online security, and artificial intelligence.  As early as 1992, the MacCrate Report identified “effectively working with other people” as an important skill for effective lawyers.  While progress has been made, law schools still lag behind others with the teaching and practice of collaboration skills.
