At the threshold of a new technological evolution,
ForresterField utilizes
AI and Machine Learning
to help lawyers progress,
strengthen their practice,
and lead in a new legal landscape.
Our mission is to leverage modern
technology
to help lawyers become
stronger advocates
and happier professionals
We apply expertise in
both law and
artificial intelligence
to identify benefits and
avoid potential ethical pitfalls
Because, whether you like it or not, AI is coming.
We are at the threshold of a technological revolution that will dwarf the internet's power and change how we live. While some predict promise and others doom, AI is not going away. Regardless of your age, familiarity with AI, or desire to embrace new technology, AI will impact our profession.
But machines will never replace lawyers because they can't. Despite the jokes, the practice of law—being an advocate—is a uniquely human element that will sustain the profession. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace it. Or if you don’t take the time to understand it, you won’t be passed over by those who do.
The emergence of AI will strengthen the practice of law because AI gives attorneys superpowers, making us better at our jobs while allowing us more personal time. An attorney who embraces AI will likely be better informed, more prepared, and happier than if they didn’t. But embracing AI doesn't mean lawyers must take up coding or comprehend the parameter adjustments that define deep neural networks. Simply taking reasonable steps to understand the technology and how it can improve your practice will make you a better advocate.
In fact, as an attorney, you have a duty to understand AI and know how it can impact our profession. New technologies create novel ethical challenges for the legal profession because they will inevitably impact law practice and common law. As AI becomes more intertwined with society, it will introduce new dynamics that impact litigation and could become central issues in your clients’ cases. Even if you don’t plan to embrace the technology, knowing the basics will be increasingly more important to you as the technology progresses.
But regardless of whether you think AI will lead to a humanistic utopia or apocalyptic horror, we help provide the knowledge and tools to help blunt its impact on the law profession. Whether it is providing information in layperson’s terms, helping to craft AI-fueled additions to your current workflow, or developing a custom AI suite for your firm, we can help bridge the gap and support legal progress.
AI Duality
As with many things in life, the duality of AI as applied to law is strong. This means that for all the promise that AI can bring to an attorney’s practice, risks and ethical considerations must be navigated by professionals who use it.
Attorneys utilize Artificial Intelligence to :
Avoid the busy work and automate practice elements that waste time.
Communicate more effectively and efficiently.
Significantly reduce the time it takes to research any subject one can imagine; essentially flipping the limits of knowledge from the supply side to an individual’s appetite for it.
Produce properly formatted, relevant, and logical legal briefings in moments.
Actualize concepts previously limited to theory
Produce beautiful art that is uniquely yours despite never lifting a pencil, dabbing a paintbrush, or triggering a shutter.
Generate greater insights into their work
Discover new advantages that are vital in an adversarial process.
Always have an informed second opinion
Have more time to do the things they want
Increase access to justice
But for all the benefits, AI also:
Exists to fail: Because in a finite universe, attempts to simulate reality always have confidence intervals
Can be manipulative and subordinate
Consistently fails to understand the context you take for granted.
Will tell you what you want to hear.
Reflects the biases contained in the data that it consumed, created mainly by the privileged elite who hope to maintain their status
Is produced and made available almost exclusively to earn profit.
Remains inaccessible to the same populations that lack access to other inelasticly demanded products, services, and guarantees.
Requires a reality check by humans on its outputs
Continued Legal Education
We often regular live, online CLEs at designated times that are open to the public and detailed below. Many of these are pre-approved for CLE credits as noted in the detailed descriptions, and any attorney may petition their jurisdiction for credits after completing the courses.

AI 101 for Attorneys
If you take only one AI for Lawyers course, this should be it. Whether you are an AI novice or are knee-deep in neural networks already, you will value this class that applies the technology to the practice of law in interactive and hands-on ways, with no pretense. It:
Introduces foundational AI/ML concepts to a non-technical audience,
Addresses potential ethical challenges for lawyers,
Suggests (often free) tools that would strengthen any legal practice, and
Applies the tools to hypotheticals to provide real-world context to AI’s capabilities.
Applied Ethics and Policy Update
Technology may dominate news cycles and fuel gossip around the water cooler, but in the legal world, without standards, safeguards, and due diligence, it can do more harm than good. We help legal professionals navigate AI regulation, mitigate bias, and ensure data confidentiality using privacy-first solutions like federated learning and deploying secure AI environments..
