EP303 Tech Tips for Lawyers & Mediators in the Age of AI, With Patrick Russell of Meaningful-Mediation.com
Patrick Russell, of Meaningful-Mediation.com, a Supreme Court of Florida certified mediator in Florida, discusses the use of technology in his legal and mediation practice. He highlights the use of AI-powered tools like Dall-E for creating marketing images and Synthesia.io for generating personalized video content (similar to Pipio.ai, which Mac uses on InstantMediators.com). Patrick explains how these tools can save time and enhance the delivery of educational content for lawyers, mediators, and their clients.
Additionally, Patrick shares his experience with using ChatGPT to summarize legal documents, which he finds to be a significant time-saver in preparing for mediations. He and Mac also mention the potential of tools like Notebook LLM, which can create personalized research repositories and even generate podcast-style audio overviews of articles.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of embracing technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the legal and mediation fields, rather than viewing it as a threat to these professions. Patrick encourages fellow practitioners to experiment with these tools and find ways to integrate them into their workflows. LMISandbox.com, an experimental space in the LMI.Network hosts several real-life examples of AI for lawyers and mediators in the wild, including creating action figure artwork for use in branding and marketing.
