Newsletter: The Code of Law | Data Poisoning – Corrupt Data Can Corrupt an AI Model
Lawyers tend to specialize in certain areas of laws: finance, corporate, shipping, insurance and so on. My own observation is that most lawyers receive an all-rounded legal training before they (by choice, by chance or by a mix of factors) focus on a particular area and become a specialist lawyer. The specialization is a continuous process rather than an abrupt switch, whereby the lawyer with his legal training gradually learns about the industry that he is specializing into over the years. For example, a junior lawyer may not know much about finance from day one, but if he wishes to practise as a finance lawyer he must gain a deep understanding on the functioning of the financial markets and instruments. This process often takes years, as the lawyer needs to learn about a discipline that is not his original one.
