Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 15, I, Robot Lawyer: Opportunities and Threats in an Orwellian World explores the dramatic and profound transformative technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics. It is the fastest growing industry in the world and in less than ten years is projected to become the largest. It cannot be ignored and most certainly should not be ignored by attorneys, both those seeking opportunity within it and those whose livelihoods may be threatened by it. About 5.4 million service robots for personal and domestic use were sold in 2015, a 16 percent increase over 2014, with a sales value of $2.2 billion. This means that AI/robotics is a field to watch for attorneys. Hermann discusses the legal employment opportunities including with: (1) AI/robotics manufacturers themselves, and (2) the manufacturing facilities, service companies, and facilities that comprise their market. AI/robotics is a unique phenomenon that presents both immense opportunity while at the same time being an existential threat to a 21st century legal career. I, Robot Lawyer provides law students and attorneys with tactics they should be thinking about as they confront this phenomenon including "technologizing" and "predictive analytics" due diligence before leaping into a particular law practice area.
