Ed. note: This is the fourth installment of The Legal Tech-to-English Dictionary, part of our Non-Event for Tech-Perplexed Lawyers. Jared Correia is the host of the Non-Eventcast.
There’s a term for when attorneys use Latin and other arcane languages to describe legal processes to consumers: “legalese.”
But there’s no similar term for when vendors use technical and other arcane languages to describe their legal software operations to lawyers.

Read on for the fourth installment, where we translate contract lifecycle management topics to plain English.

While artificial intelligence is an often-misunderstood concept, it’s already widely used in areas like retail sales and online advertising and making inroads in the law.
In a recent Non-Eventcast, host Jared Correia talks with Nathan Wenzel of SimpleLegal and Alex Smith of iManage to nail down just what “artificial intelligence” refers to, specific ways it’s being used, and what lawyers should be doing now to capitalize.
Read on for an excerpt from this discussion detailing two use cases (lightly edited for length and clarity). And while you’re here, feel free to browse prior editions of the Non-Eventcast in the Law Practice Management Software, Legal Document Management Software, and Legal Operations Contract Lifecycle Management rooms of the ATL Non-Event.

While the working definitions of “artificial intelligence,” “machine learning,” and their surrounding concepts can be squishy at times, there’s no doubt that AI has arrived in the law in concrete ways already streamlining some of the industry’s’ most mundane tasks.
