Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Nana Asomani-Poku in Jamestown, Accra during a walking tour through featuring stories told in images by Glocal Citizen, James Barnor. It was during the James Barnor @‌95 celebration in 2024. Nana, a UK-born Ghanaian legal professional, filmmaker, and community engagement specialist based in Australia was back in Ghana for a family celebration of his own. As we chatted along the route, he mentioned his work centering social impact in Australia and my curiosity was peaked. What you'll learn in this conversation spans how he began his career as a legal advocate for asylum seekers and refugees with the UK's largest not-for-profit immigration law firm to community and stakeholder engagement, building bridges between public sector organisations and marginalised communities in Australia. Alongside his human rights work, he pursued his passion for filmmaking, training at the New York Film Academy and going on to make his first feature film, Drawn. Let's travel with Nana, to get to know more about his land down under and other stops across the globe. Where to find Nana? On IMDB On Instagram What's Nana listening to? Whitney Houston, Al Green, The Jacksons, to name a few. Other topics of interest: Visit Porkyto's in Osu, Accra Correction about the Aquarius sun sign, an air sign not a water sign About Leytonstone and The Bow Bells Lifestyle in Perth vs Melbourne Sokoto, Nigeria Ombudsman Services in Australia About the film, The Dish Yoga Nidra + Sankalpa How many countries are there across the planet?Special Guest: Nana Asomani-Poku.

In today's episode of Legal Marketing Minutes, I want to bring something to your attention that is getting a lot of media attention right now. It involves a new agentic AI app originally known as Clawdbot, now Moltbot (see edit below), and I explain why legal and business professionals need to be extremely cautious about tools like this. This episode is especially relevant for lawyers, legal marketing and business development professionals, and other law firm leaders who are trying to understand where agentic AI fits, and where it does not, in professional services environments. This tool is not just another AI chat interface. It is an open-source, agentic AI assistant designed to run locally and take actions across systems using large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and others. In this episode, I cover: What makes agentic AI different from traditional generative AI tools Why open source does not automatically mean low risk How agentic AI changes the risk profile around confidentiality, accuracy, and supervision Why I'm drawing a clear line right now for legal professionals And what I recommend you focus on instead as you build AI discernment I also reference a recent LinkedIn conversation and explain why issues such as prompt injection, rogue actions, and the release of confidential client or matter information are not theoretical concerns, but real professional responsibility issues. Edit for Breaking News: Clawdbot → Moltbot rebrand and scam activity Since recording this episode, the Clawdbot project has rebranded to Moltbot following a naming conflict. What happened next is a real-world example of the risks discussed in this episode. Within seconds of the rename, scammers reportedly grabbed look-alike handles and began promoting fake crypto tokens tied to the project's name. The creator publicly warned that any "Clawdbot" or "Moltbot" coin was not legitimate and urged followers not to buy. This is exactly the kind of brand, trust, and reputational risk that emerges when open-source projects, AI tools, and social platforms collide at speed. Separately, security researchers have highlighted risks when agentic tools are deployed with publicly exposed control panels, including potential exposure of credentials and sensitive data. If you are experimenting with agentic tooling, treat it like production infrastructure: lock it down, assume attackers are watching, and do not expose admin interfaces to the public internet. I also reference a recent LinkedIn conversation I had about Clawdbot and explain why issues such as prompt injection, rogue actions, and the release of confidential client or matter information are not theoretical concerns, but real professional responsibility issues. If you listened to Episode 41 of Legal Marketing Moments, this episode is the real-world follow-up.

In this episode, Molly interviews Jay Henderson, a performance and leadership expert, speaker, and author of The Lawyers Guide to Hiring Super-Stars. Jay has coached hundreds of attorneys across the U.S. and helps leaders understand the human side of performance—how natural performance bias and reducing interference quickly drive real results. He brings decades of insight into what makes people tick, perform, and thrive at work. Jay shares how his breakthrough assessment tools help law firms predict candidate success by measuring judgment, bias, and emotional control—before a bad hire costs time, money, and morale. He also gives a sneak peek into his new book, Lawyer's Guide to Hiring Superstars. Key Takeaways: Go beyond resumes — real success comes from understanding how candidates think, make decisions, and handle pressure. Spot risks early — measuring judgment and bias helps identify red flags before a bad hire impacts your team or culture. Prioritize emotional control — a candidate's ability to stay composed and work well with others often predicts long-term success more than skill alone. Hire for human fit — it's not about the credentials but more on how the person responds to challenges, and whether they align with your firm's values. Use proven hiring systems — research-backed methods help firms hire smarter, faster, and with greater confidence in their decisions.   Quote for the Show: "Everyone has talent.

FitzPatrick served on the Young Lawyers Division board for years as director and chair prior to his current term on the New Mexico Board of Bar Commissioners. FitzPatrick is also the current Chair of the New Mexico State Bar Well Being Committee and serves on the Uniform Civil Jury Instruction Committee.

Noell is a proud graduate of the UNM School of Law.  Upon graduation, Noell was honored by the law school's faculty with their Faculty Award and, in 2024, the law school's alumni association recognized her with its Alumni Promise Award.  Noell is an active member of the New Mexico legal community, acting as adjunct faculty at the law school as well as serving on the Albuquerque Bar Association's Board of Directors. Steve Scholl loves being a trial lawyer and helping others learn and perfect the art and science of trial practice. Steve is a 1989 graduate of UNMSOL and describes himself as a “36L” because he's never really left Bratton Hall. He can be found almost any time roaming its hallways with a Rules of Evidence book in hand. Steve keeps his life in balance. Away from the office and law school, he and his wife of 46 years, Chris and their hound, Winnie the Pooch, will be found with their kids and grandkids on “the lake” on their boat Time Flies; driving one of their old vintage cars around in pursuit of the perfect huevos rancheros; camping in one of their restored 1950's canned-ham campers; traveling to some far off land; or, just hanging out or having a party at home.

Since ChatGPT came on the scene, numerous incidents have surfaced involving attorneys submitting court filings riddled with AI-generated hallucinations—plausible-sounding case citations that purport to support key legal propositions but are, in fact, entirely fictitious. As sanctions against attorneys mount, it seems clear there are a few kinks in the tech. Even AI tools designed specifically for lawyers can be prone to hallucinations. In this episode, we look at the potential and risks of AI-assisted tech in law and policy with two Stanford Law researchers at the forefront of this issue: RegLab Director Professor Daniel Ho and JD/PhD student and computer science researcher Mirac Suzgun. Together with several co-authors, they examine the emerging risks in two recent papers, “Profiling Legal Hallucinations in Large Language Models” (Oxford Journal of Legal Analysis, 2024) and the forthcoming “Hallucination-Free?” in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies. Ho and Suzgun offer new insights into how legal AI is working, where it's failing, and what's at stake.Links:Daniel Ho  >>> Stanford Law pageStanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) >>> Stanford University pageRegulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab (RegLab) >>> Stanford University pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:00) Introduction to AI in Legal Education (00:05:01) AI Tools in Legal Research and Writing(00:12:01) Challenges of AI-Generated Content (00:20:0) Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback(00:30:01) Audience Q&A

This week we welcome Raghu Ramanathan, President of Legal Professionals at Thomson Reuters, for an insightful discussion on the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the legal industry. Raghu shares why he believes the legal sector, alongside healthcare, stands at the forefront of the AI revolution. His journey into the legal tech world, driven by the transformative potential of AI, sets the stage for a deep dive into current trends, future predictions, and the strategic initiatives shaping the future of law.Central to the conversation is Raghu's updated perspective on the evolution of law firms, revisiting predictions he first made in 2017. He outlines a compelling framework describing "three waves" of AI adoption currently underway. The first wave, "Optimization," which many firms are experiencing now, focuses on using AI to enhance existing workflows, making tasks faster and more efficient. The second wave, "Re-engineering," involves fundamentally rethinking processes, staffing models (including the traditional pyramid structure), pricing strategies, and the very nature of legal work to leverage AI's capabilities more deeply. Looking further ahead, the third wave anticipates the emergence of entirely "New Business Models."Thomson Reuters is actively navigating and shaping this transformation, particularly through its AI platform, CoCounsel. Raghu highlights the rapid evolution of CoCounsel, emphasizing the continuous development of new "skills"—capabilities ranging from summarization and research to drafting and complex analysis like the innovative "Claims Explorer." He explains TR's strategy involves integrating proprietary data (like Westlaw), client-provided documents, and public information, leveraging advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) from various providers to deliver comprehensive and powerful AI assistance. Prioritizing new skill development involves balancing significant client value with technical feasibility, constantly informed by close collaboration with innovation-focused customers.Beyond law firms, the conversation explores the crucial role and adoption of AI within the court system. Raghu notes a surprising enthusiasm among courts, driven by the urgent need to address growing case backlogs and enhance access to justice within tight budgets. He points to Thomson Reuters' significant partnerships, including a major agreement to deploy AI tools across the US federal courts and ongoing collaboration with the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), which is fostering education and policy discussions among judges and court staff nationwide. Complementing product innovation, TR's expanded "Customer Success" initiative underscores the importance of user adoption, providing dedicated resources and best practices to help lawyers and legal professionals effectively integrate AI tools into their daily workflows, ensuring technology translates into tangible value.Raghu anticipates that smaller and mid-sized law firms may initially leverage AI more aggressively as a competitive equalizer, pushing larger firms to make bolder, more strategic moves beyond simple optimization. He stresses that the ultimate differentiator for success in the AI era will likely be less about the technology itself and more about effective change management. The rapid pace of AI adoption already witnessed in the legal sector signals that this transformation is not a distant prospect but a present reality reshaping the industry at an unprecedented speed.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcript

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and John Kormanik discuss:Mastering time and prioritization for lawyersTransitioning from law practice to impactful coachingEmbracing work-life blend over balanceThe value of coaching for professional growth Key Takeaways:Lawyers should identify and focus on high-level tasks only they can perform, saying no to distractions and delegating effectively to reclaim control of their schedules.Creating space to recharge, such as leaving your phone behind during walks or taking intentional downtime, is crucial to maintaining focus and high performance.Begin each day with proactive work aligned with your goals, avoiding the trap of reactive email responses, which often represent others' priorities rather than your own.Instead of chasing an impossible balance, embrace the idea of blending professional demands and personal goals based on the current season of your life and work. "You do hard things every day—you just don't realize it because, by the time you're done, you've already done them." —  John Kormanik Got a challenge growing your law practice?

This has been a notable year for BriefCatch, a legal technology company devoted to helping legal professionals improve their legal writing. It started nine months ago, with the company's raise of a $3.5 million seed round, continued with its roll outs of new products and features, and then to its formation of a legal writing advisory panel of judges, advocates and academics.  All of that culminated in BriefCatch's announcement last week of its hires of three legal tech veterans into key executive roles in marketing, sales and product management, all to help lead it into its next stage of growth and development: Lydia Flocchini as chief marketing officer, Darren Schleicher as chief sales officer, and Kyle Bahr as product manager of AI and other new products. Ross Guberman, the founder and CEO of BriefCatch, is our guest today to discuss the company's history, growth, recent news, and future plans – which will include the launch of a suite of AI-enabled products. A former practicing lawyer, he was a legal writing coach and speaker when he conceived of BriefCatch, which he formally launched in 2018.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

For our second episode of Working Smarter, we're talking to University of Toronto law professor Abdi Aidid about AI, the law, and the “possibility of an intelligent division of labor between human and machine.”Aidid is interested in how AI can help legal professionals be better at their jobs and improve the delivery of legal services. He's also the former vice president of legal research for Blue J—a legal tech company that uses machine learning to help lawyers review, analyze, and synthesize information faster and more efficiently than they could on their own—and the co-author of The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better.Hear Aidid talk about using AI to spend more time on the things humans do best, how lawyers are already using AI-powered tools, and why he thinks AI could actually make legal services more accessible and better able to meet people's needs. Show notes:To hear more from Abdi Aidid, read our previous interview on Work in Progress.Visit the University of Toronto website to learn more about Abdi Aidid and his work.The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better by Abdi Aidid and Benjamin Alarie is available now.Read the full transcript of this interview on our website. ~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
