A personal take on how legal tech is reshaping the lawyer’s craft—and why we need to start talking about it.

While everyone talks about “AI tools” and “automation,” prompt engineering remains the most under-discussed (and arguably the most important) skill lawyers can learn today. It's the foundation that enables AI to actually deliver useful, context-aware insights. Without it, AI is just another black box.

They take too long because we lack consensus.

Standardization is a concept as old as civilization itself.
