Chatting with Bob Ambrogi, while he was visiting Seattle this week, we agreed that legal tech was growing like at no other time. Tech’s been around legal for a long time and we’ve had a lot of folks like he and I involved in legal tech companies and its coverage for a couple decades or more. But the last three or four years have brought us a slew of companies and solutions disrupting legal like never before.

The latest comes from the New Jersey Supreme Court, the governing body for lawyer licensure in the state, which last week blacklisted services from Avvo, LegalZoom and RocketLawyer that match consumers with attorneys because of concerns over fee-sharing and referral fees. […] Lawyers, courts and bar associations talk a good game when it comes to public service and making legal services more accessible. But it’s not happening. When businesses everywhere are seizing technology to reduce prices and improve services, bar associations and courts governing lawyers are sticking their heads in the sand and digging in their heels. This is a real shame — for the public who don’t have access to the law and for lawyers who are increasingly becoming irrelevant to the average person in this country.

Having authored a computer language for attorneys, you might think my answer to the question of whether attorneys should learn to code is an unqualified “Yes.” In truth, my answer is “It depends.” It depends on what you mean by code.

Profesor umetne inteligence z Univerze Novega južnega Walesa Toby Walsh pojasnjuje, zakaj bi morali prepovedati robote, ki lahko kot avtonomno orožje locirajo, sledijo in uničijo tarčo. V svojem prispevku obravnava in ovrže pet tez, ki se običajno pojavljajo v prid argumentom razvoja takih robotov. Skupaj s svojimi kolegi je Walsh podpisnik odprtega pisma, v katerem pozivajo k prepovedi robotov ubijalcev.

Od 1. aprila 2015 lahko do informacij o poteku, fazi in zaključku predkazenskega postopka za kaznivo dejanje, v katerem ste bili oškodovani, dostopate tudi prek spletne aplikacije. V policiji so namreč pripravili novo spletno aplikacijo Obveščanje oškodovancev kaznivih dejanj, ki je namenjena oškodovancem kaznivih dejanj.
Oškodovanec v zahtevana polja vpiše svoje podatke, in sicer ime in priimek, EMŠO, elektronski naslov in datum naznanila kaznivega dejanja. Dodana so tudi polja za neobvezne podatke, kot so naslov oškodovanca, telefonska številka in kratek opis kaznivega dejanja.
Prosilec bo iz uradnih evidenc policije prejel samodejno obvestilo, in sicer:
V obvestilu, ki ga prosilec prejme, ne bodo zajeti osebni podatki prosilca ali konkretni podatki o postopku, ki bi omogočali zlorabo. Prosilec bo zato moral za več podatkov neposredno zaprositi institucijo, ki vodi postopek, torej policijo ali pristojno okrožno državno tožilstvo.
Oškodovanci bodo lahko do podatkov o postopku dostopali kadarkoli, aplikacija pa bo po mnenju Policije hkrati zmanjšala administrativno obremenjenost policistov in kriminalistov na terenu. Na spletni strani aplikacije je tudi povezava na brošuro Ko postanem žrtev kaznivega dejanja, v kateri si lahko oškodovanci preberejo o pravicah, ki jih imajo kot žrtve kaznivih dejanj.
