So… AI Just Launched a Law Firm. Should Law Majors Be Worried?

If you’re studying law, brace yourself: a startup called Crosby just launched with $5.8 million to build a law firm run on AI. Not just AI tools for lawyers — we’re talking lawyers + in-house AI working together to review contracts in under an hour. Wild.

Instead of selling software, Crosby hired real lawyers and paired them with custom tech to speed up legal work for startups. It’s like if ChatGPT and a corporate attorney had a super-efficient baby.

What does that mean for us law majors?

• Tech fluency is a plus. You don’t have to code, but knowing how AI fits into legal work could be a big career boost.

• The boring stuff? Automated. AI might handle routine contracts, so you could focus on strategy, advocacy, and real human stuff.

• Firms are changing. Hourly billing? Maybe not for long. AI-driven firms are pushing speed and efficiency over tradition.

Bottom line: AI’s not replacing lawyers — it’s reshaping the job. So stay curious, stay flexible… and maybe learn what an MSA actually is.
