AI for Legal: Going Beyond Vibes

We all know AI is transforming legal, and with every new tool comes the same provocative question: Why not just build it ourselves? But the answer is more complicated than a weekend hackathon and a ChatGPT API key.

Join Dr. Cain Elliott and Cat Casey, the Technocat, as they dismantle the build-vs-buy myth with a candid look at what happens when firms chase DIY AI without a clear-eyed view of the risks. They'll walk through the hidden costs that don't show up until year two to the Dunning-Kruger trap that convinces smart people they've solved hard problems.

After this session, you'll have a robust framework for evaluating when to build, when to buy, and when to co-innovate, so your firm spends less time debugging code and more time practicing law.

What we’re covering

Learn how to separate AI reality from AI hype:

  • Build vs. Buy vs. Co-Innovate: Why vibe coding your own legal AI tools introduces more risk than it resolves and how to evaluate the right path forward for your firm.
  • The Hidden Cost Curve: Where vendor lock-in, technical debt, and maintenance overhead quietly compound long after the initial build feels like a win.
  • The Dunning-Kruger Trap: How confident teams underestimate the complexity of legal AI and why the gap between a working prototype and a production-ready tool is wider than it looks.
  • Smarter Co-Innovation: Practical frameworks for partnering with purpose-built platforms so your firm stays focused on practicing law, not debugging code.
