ICT is transforming the legal profession in several ways:
1. Technology is being leveraged to deliver legal services more efficiently through tools like video conferencing, online legal communities, e-libraries and case management systems.
2. The rise of e-commerce requires new approaches to legal documentation and dispute resolution, like online dispute resolution and smart contracts on blockchain.
3. Certain routine legal tasks like company formation and basic legal research may become automated, but complex legal work requiring judgment and nuance will still need human lawyers.
The future legal profession is uncertain but will likely see subscription pricing models, an emphasis on technology skills, and changing roles for legal professionals and tools.

Disruption is a common theme among many tech evangelists. "Futurists” are predicting that robots and artificial intelligence will result in job losses for employees within professions. I'm not an evangelist or a futurist, but I think we can take it as a given that "Robots" will reshape all professions, including those in the legal field.
In this presentation I've tried to explore how our conceptions of "lawyering" might be changed by the introduction of "robots" into the legal profession. Technology has a habit of both substituting and complementing. Automation will raise output, but it also leads to higher demand for workers who can uniquely supply tasks that machines cannot supply.
Take a look at the range of information technologies of law that are assisting with raising output. The presentation will also offer glimpses of what legal professions can uniquely supply and robots cannot.

In this guide, we will delve into the factors that make Rafah a focal point for international interest, examining its historical context, humanitarian challenges, and political dimensions.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

ICT and the transformation of the legal profession
1. ICT AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF
THE LEGAL PROFESSION
SEYI ONI
2. History of the Legal
Profession
• In ancient societies, every person was required to
plead his or her own case. The first lawyers arose as
an unregulated group of “advocates” who were skilled
in rhetoric and would plead on behalf of others.
• The earliest people who could be described as "lawyers
" were probably the orators of ancient Athens.
• Lawyers have been the prime sources of legal
knowledge and services.
3. The Guilds of the Middle Ages
• Competition between members was regulated by fixed
pricing policies - advertising and price cutting was banned.
• Illicit trading by non Merchant Guild members was banned.
• The number of Guild masters and members of guilds were
restricted to ensure there was sufficient business for each
of the guilds.
• The guilds failed because they were perceived to negatively
affect quality, skills, and innovation.

transactions, the
relationship between parties
does not end once initial
performance has taken
place
IT Contract Relationships
With continual technological
advances, more innovative
ways are being found to share
development and marketing
risks and distribute products
and services.
Innovative Business Models
Hardware and software have
become low margin

CONSIDERATION
INVITATION TO
TREAT
OFFER
ACCEPTANCE
INVITATION TO TREAT
In conventional retail, the display of products on shelves
only constitute an Invitation to Treat. In E-Commerce,
this concept is also represented by the display of
products on the website.
OFFER
The consumer ‘browses’ the available goods and
services displayed on the vendor’s website and then
‘chooses’ what he would like to purchase.
The acceptance is most times undertaken by the
business/ vendor after the offer has been made by the
consumer in response to the invitation to treat. This can
be indicated by the actual delivery of the product.
ACCEPTANCE
In most e-commerce transactions, the process of
effecting the consideration is automated and carried out
by a 3rd party payment provider. This in itself poses some
challenges.
CONSIDERATION
8. Online Dispute Resolution
• The real driver for ODR is E-commerce.
• E-commerce makes it possible for transactions to take place across various countries. The
trans-border nature of E-commerce therefore brings complications into the adjudication of these
transactions.
• Unlike other dispute resolution processes, ODR is a fast, efficient, flexible, and inexpensive
mechanism for handling e-commerce disputes, both at the domestic level and across borders.
• ODR processes provide businesses and consumers with a simple and reliable process through which
to resolve conflicts arising out of their online interactions.
• Disputes arising in the online context vary considerably and are often extremely difficult for courts to
handle for the following reasons-
• the high volume of claims;
• the contrast between the low value of the transaction and the high cost of litigation;
• the question of applicable law; and
• the difficulty of enforcement of foreign judgments
9. • The Neutral in

10. The Role of the Lawyer in ODR
• 'It should not be thought, merely because the online court may be designed in
a way which enables people to litigate without lawyers, that lawyers are intende
d to be excluded from it. Not at all. Such a design would, however, encourage
barristers and solicitors to provide unbundled and therefore more affordable
services to those thinking of using the online court.’- Lord Justice Briggs, Court
of Appeal of England and Wales.

ICT Law Discipline There is no single body of law which
can be called ICT law. It is a distinct
field of law that comprises elements
of various branches of the law,
originating under various acts or
statutes of Parliament and the
common law.
12. Legal Documentation
Contract Lifecycle Management Tools:-
• Legal departments can streamline the
contract creation process by automating the
drafting, review, and management of legal
documents
• A global repository securely stores and
manages entire contract portfolio.
• Powerful, accurate, and instant AI-driven
data capture makes importing legacy and
third party agreements easy.
• Universal Contract Model uniformly maps
all data from every contract type.
DIY Legal Services:-
• Can be used by non-lawyers to
generate simple agreements and docu
ments
• Can be used by non-lawyers to carry
out other legal services such as
company incorporation, land
registration, etc.

Globalisation and
Liberalisation of Legal
Practice.
02
The lawyers of the future
must understand the
technology and its
Limits.
Company Formation,
basic research, drafting
of wills and simple
contracts will gradually
be automated.
For the legal profession,
trust, diligence and
'good judgement' have
been watchwords .

05
Traditional Lawyers could be replaced by
advanced systems or less costly workers
supported by technology or standard
processes; or by lay people armed with
online self- help tools.

profession will look like in 10 years
because there are so many forces
at work. We know it will look very
different from what it does now."
