Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Build Windmills, Not Walls: Michael Gerstenzang
Q: What do you think about the billable hour model?
The billable hour model creates misalignment and inefficiency; I hope AI will help change that.
Build Windmills, Not Walls: Michael Gerstenzang
Q: What will AI do to hiring and employment levels in the legal field?
We are not shrinking our class sizes, but we will increase hiring of data scientists and technologists.
Build Windmills, Not Walls: Michael Gerstenzang
Q: What inspired you to enter firm leadership?
It was accumulation of smaller experiences over time rather than a specific program or inspiration.
Build Windmills, Not Walls: Michael Gerstenzang
Q: What advice would you offer to law students or young lawyers who are trying to figure out what they want to specialize in?
Be curious and talk to as many people as you can to broaden your perspective.
On Vigilantism And Violence: Elliot Williams
Q: Big picture, did the legal system get this right?
Yes, because of the adage we all know, it's better for 10,000 guilty men to go free than one innocent person to go to jail. Morally, should we be content with what happened here? I think the answer is no.
