  • Why Legal AI Needs an External Referee — Live from ILTACON 2026

    Why Legal AI Needs an External Referee — Live from ILTACON 2026
    2026/09/08
    Recorded live at ILTACON 2026, this conversation with Dino Eliopulos, SVP of Innovation at Fulcrum GT, digs into why AI shouldn't be trusted to grade its own work. Eliopulos explains the case for building external systems that audit AI outputs rather than letting the AI evaluate itself, and how that traceability matters when a firm has to defend a disputed bill or explain how an AI-corrected time entry came to be. He also talks through the discipline behind Fulcrum's internal startup incubator, how unstructured legal work product like briefs and narratives is finally becoming accessible to AI, and what he tells firms asking how to measure ROI on their AI investments without having a business case in place from the start.

  • How Paralegals Are Becoming the AI Power Users of the Legal Industry

    How Paralegals Are Becoming the AI Power Users of the Legal Industry
    2026/08/26
    Paralegals have been prompt engineers long before the term existed, and that background is shaping how they're approaching generative AI today. Kristine Custodio Suero, California Paralegal of the Year and paralegal educator at the University of San Diego School of Law, and Kelli Radnothy, a 20-plus year litigation paralegal with the Nevada Attorney General's office and chief ideas officer of KLR Paralegal, join the show to talk through how they're using AI tools in practice and in the classroom. They walk through their advice for paralegals just starting out, why starting low stakes and low risk matters before touching client data, and how they trained their own LLMs, nicknames included, to build confidence with the technology. The conversation covers the guardrails needed for confidentiality and ethics, the shift from task-based work to strategic work that AI is pushing paralegals toward, and why billing models may need to evolve alongside it. Suero and Radnothy also share how government and firm settings shape what tools they're allowed to use, their takes on Claude versus ChatGPT, and why they both land firmly on the techno-optimist side of the debate.

  • AI Adoption in Law Firms: What's Really Happening Behind the Numbers

    AI Adoption in Law Firms: What's Really Happening Behind the Numbers
    2026/08/18
    Generative AI usage among attorneys jumped from 31% to 69% in a single year, but most law firms still haven't caught up with formal policies or training. Attorney and legal tech columnist Nicole Black, who has covered the intersection of law and technology for two decades, breaks down what's driving that gap and what it means for firms trying to keep pace. She explains why solo and small firms tend to adopt new technology faster than their mid-size and large counterparts, and why immigration attorneys in particular are using generative AI at a much higher rate than other practice areas. Black also discusses the slow erosion of the billable hour, why in-house counsel and insurance defense attorneys are among the most likely to push firms toward flat rate pricing, and what the current wave of legal tech consolidation means for the tools attorneys rely on day to day. The conversation turns to the rise of vibe coding in the legal industry, including attorneys building their own case management software from scratch, and Black shares her own experience using AI tools to navigate a New York liquor license application for a winery she and her husband are launching. She closes with her honest take on where she lands between AI optimism and AI pessimism, and why she thinks regulation may already be behind the curve.
