    AI and Law: FOMO and Practical Adoption

    In this episode of the Law Practice Podcast, host Terrell Turner interviews Steve Embry, former mass tort defense litigator, legal tech blogger at TechnoLaw Crossroads, Above the Law contributor, and past ABA Law Practice Division chair and ABA TECHSHOW leader, about navigating the overwhelming pace of legal technology—especially since ChatGPT’s rise in 2022. Steve emphasizes that firms often adopt AI out of fear of missing out, even though generative AI isn’t right for everyone, and urges lawyers to start by identifying specific practice problems and then selecting tools that fit their needs and practice area. He highlights ABA TECHSHOW's uniquely welcoming, lawyer-to-lawyer environment for learning what tools actually work, recommends asking vendors to explain products in practical terms, and suggests using generative AI to translate technical explanations into plain language. 00:00 AI FOMO In Law 01:04 Meet Steve Embry 01:42 Steve’s Legal Tech Journey 03:51 ABA TECHSHOW Roots 06:55 Information Overload Since ChatGPT 09:28 Start With The Problem 12:56 Avoid AI Hype Traps 14:54 How To Vet New Tools 16:55 Vendor Talk Vs Lawyer Reality 19:55 Ask For Plain English 21:54 Use AI To Simplify Jargon 22:26 Where To Find Steve 23:24 Closing And Wrap Up Visit TECHSHOW.com

    The Healthy Lawyer: How Wellness Fuels Better Lawyering

    On the Law Practice Today podcast, Wendy S. Meadows shares how her renewed focus on fitness and wellness in 2015 helped her break a burnout cycle, improve confidence and performance as a lawyer, and organically evolve into coaching and speaking on being a healthy lawyer. She discusses how the legal profession is increasingly embracing wellness at conferences, though many still struggle to implement habits. Wendy explains healthy lawyering as both mental and physical: protecting your mind by not starting the day with email or social media, intentionally deciding who you need to be for key moments, journaling, and moving your body daily, even in small increments. She describes building habits through gradual layers—exercise, nutrition changes, and personal development. Wendy also outlines her future: continuing family law through mediation, parent coordination, adoptions, and representing children, while scaling coaching via masterminds like her Gone Solo Mastermind and planning another book. 00:00 Coaching Without Quitting Law 00:27 Podcast Intro and Wellness Focus 01:50 Morning Routines and Workouts 03:27 Wendy’s Origin Story 05:54 Wellness in Legal Culture 07:53 Defining a Healthy Lawyer 10:51 Building Habits in Layers 13:16 Future Plans and Masterminds 15:13 Where to Find Wendy 15:59 Final Wrap Up Visit TECHSHOW.com
