I have no actual basis to back up my statement that more technologically-savvy people are entering the legal profession as judges, but it will happen inevitably as each generation gives way to the next.
- esoteriq 16y agoAh, but by the time the tech-savvy law students become judges, they may not be tech-savvy anymore. This is only from my own experience at law school. There were relatively few truly tech-savvy folks out there. Almost everyone I knew still used Microsoft Word to type their lecture notes and outlines. (MS Word is terrible for this purpose - its internal formatting gets weird after a certain amount of bullet points.) I used special software for my lecture notes from a startup, and other students viewed me as "weird". I was also the first law student to use Dropbox to back up my work - seriously. (There were some other law students who were programmers before, but they are a different class of lawyers.) I'm not entirely sure that a legion of new lawyers who know how to use MS Word, computers and the internet are "technologically-savvy". More tech-savvy than old lawyers? absolutely. Compared to the rest of society? Eh.
