This chapter discusses the role both of those professionally qualified to practise law—solicitors and barristers—and of other groups who provide legal/advice services but who do not have professional legal qualifications. It examines how regulation of legal services providers is changing. It notes new forms of legal practice. It also considers how use of artificial intelligence may change the ways in which legal services are delivered. It reflects on the adjudicators and other dispute resolvers who play a significant role in the working of the legal system. It reflects on the contribution to legal education made by law teachers, in universities and in private colleges, to the formation of the legal profession and to the practice of the law.

Abstract The development of artificial intelligence has created new opportunities and challenges in industries. The competition between robots and humans has elicited extensive attention among legal researchers. In this exploratory study, we addressed issues regarding the introduction of robots to the practice of legal service through a semistructured interviews with lawyers, judges, artificial intelligence experts, and potential clients. An extended robot lawyer technology acceptance model with five facets and 11 elements is proposed in this study. This model highlights two dimensions: ‘legal use’ and ‘perception of trust.’ In summary, this study provides new specific implications and exhibits three characteristics, namely, derivative, macroscopic, and instructive, in the legal services with artificial intelligence. In addition, artificial intelligence robot lawyers are being developed with some of the abilities necessary to substitute for human beings. Nevertheless, working with human lawyers is imperative to produce benefits from this type of reciprocity.

The possible impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on the modern world constitute a complex field of study. In our analysis, we attempt to explore some possible consequences of the utilization of AI in the judicial field both as regarding adjudication, formerly exclusively reserved for human judges, and in the rendering of legal services by attorneys-at-law. We list the main factors influencing technology adoption and analyse the possible paths the automated management and solution of disputes may take. We conclude that the optimal outcome would be a cooperation of human and artificially intelligent factors. We also outline the conditions in which, following the abandonment of the principle of procedural fairness, AI may be directly utilized in judicial procedure. We conclude that big data solutions, such as social rating systems, are particularly concerning as they constitute a conceivable modality of deploying AI to solve litigious disputes without regard to fundamental human rights as understood today.
