Chief Justice McLachlin challenges the legal profession to embrace innovation!

“Flexibility and innovation, yes. Abandonment of core professional values, never,” said McLachlin in a speech aimed at addressing the challenges facing the legal profession due to rapidly changing technology and client demands for lower costs.

While McLachlin emphasized the need to protect core values, she made clear that resisting change isn’t an option.

“We’re part of it, and there’s no escape,” she said, referring to the technological changes making legal information available in other ways and players such as LegalZoom that are growing rapidly.

In her speech, McLachlin focused on the major challenges facing the legal profession while outlining what she sees as new opportunities that provide some optimism for different ways of doing business, particularly for “nimble, tech-savvy lawyers.”
