In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with LawY, we explore how the legal profession can develop the next generation of legal judgement when AI increasingly takes on the work that once trained junior lawyers.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LawY CEO Shelley Burger about the emerging skills gap facing the profession, the hidden costs of AI-driven efficiency and why the traditional pathway to building legal expertise needs to be rethought. Drawing on her own experience as a graduate at Gilbert + Tobin during the global financial crisis, she reflects on how foundational tasks build critical judgement, and where the line lies between using AI to support junior lawyers and allowing it to replace their thinking. They also discuss how today's legal leaders can turn AI adoption into a deliberate capability-building strategy, ensuring the next generation develops the skills, confidence, and judgement to lead the profession into the future.
