#104 - Flight Simulators for Lawyers: The Rise of the Legal Engineer and How the Profession Learns
Mary sits down with Stanford Law's Adam Sterling and Irene Liu to unpack the school's new Legal Engineering Academy. They dig into what a legal engineer actually is, why the legal apprenticeship model has been broken for years, how AI-powered 'flight simulators' could compress a decade of experience into months, why AI may be pushing demand for young lawyers up rather than down, and what the legal talent ecosystem could look like ten years from now.
