Generative Artificial Intelligence in Small Value Consumer Claims
This article examines the benefits and risks of generative artificial intelligence (‘GenAI’) use in an important domain that is currently under-serviced by the civil justice system: small value consumer claims, where GenAI has been proposed as a means of closing the access to justice gap. In the online dispute resolution (‘ODR’) field, use of digital tools such as expert systems and rules-based chatbots has been advanced to assist potential litig…
The Legal Academy’s Engagements with Lawtech
This article argues that legal education is currently grappling with three narratives of technology’s role in either augmenting, disrupting or ending the current legal services environment. It identifies each of these narratives within features of curriculum design that respond to legal professional archetypes of how lawyers react to lawtech.

The first part of the article analyses the structure and drivers of the TFR, their origins, and how they will be articulated. Secondly, the TFR is considered in …

Limiting Reliance on Discriminatory Pensionable Ages
Social Security Adjudication, Judicial Review and the Technology of Poverty
Law Students, the External Market, and Socialization
The market for lawyers has made a complete about-turn since the early 1980s. 1 With the downturn of the economy in the late 1970s and early 1980s the cry was that too many lawyers were being produced for the places and work available. The situation began to reverse in the mid-1980s and now the legal profession faces a 'crisis' of recruitment and retention of its lawyers. How are the university and polytechnic law schools, which provide the first …
