Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape one of the most foundational areas of legal practice: contract law. In this episode, Jen Leonard and Bridget McCormack are joined by Professor Dave Hoffman (University of Pennsylvania Law School) to explore how tools like Claude are influencing contract interpretation, legal research, and legal education. They discuss how AI can help judges interpret ambiguous language, what it means for the value of transactional lawyers, and why defining an “AI-ready” lawyer is harder than it sounds. Topics Discussed • Using Claude to analyze law journals’ AI policies at scale • How AI can support judges in interpreting contract language • The changing value of transactional lawyers in an AI-driven world • How legal education is adapting to rapid technological change • Rethinking legal judgment, training, and professional value Hosted on Acast.
