The term “legal expert” can mean different things to different people. Some may define a legal expert as someone with a Ph.D., others might say it’s an advocate with more than 20 years of experience, and some may argue it’s a person who has passed the bar exams. In theory, all of these definitions could be correct. However, in practice, a legal expert is someone who is competent and efficient in their field.

To be a competent and efficient legal practitioner, one must understand how the court system works, what documents are needed, and how to navigate the legal process. As the age-old saying goes, “Knowledge is power.” In today’s rapidly evolving world, the internet has democratized knowledge, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of legal data, providing insights that were once the exclusive domain of seasoned lawyers. Legal research platforms and AI-driven tools can assist individuals in understanding case law, drafting documents, and even predicting legal outcomes.  Not only is it more efficient but it is also more cost-effective and less time-consuming.

Being competent saves a lot of time in filing appeals, requesting extensions, and preparing the necessary documents, allowing more time to work on other tasks and spend time with family.

In essence, the journey towards legal transformation and access to justice for everyone has just begun, and the potential for positive change is immense. Innovations such as Wakiliai continue to break barriers and ensure a more inclusive and equitable future, especially for junior lawyers and small firms and for the people of Kenya. The wakiliai.com platform is tailored to serve law firms and legal departments while the wakili.org platform serves the people of Kenya in an efficient way.

In today’s tech-driven society, leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline one’s legal practice is not just a possibility, it’s a smart move. By automating tasks and enhancing decision-making using artificial intelligence junior advocates and small firms can significantly increase their legal expertise thus benefiting their law firms and their clients.
