How much of our work can we leave to the robots? This is the essential and basic question facing the legal profession and the society in general after robots (i. e. automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other sophisticated technologies) have made their way into the sphere of the legal world. But before we can answer the basic question, we need to understand what it means to practice law - a practice we take for granted without a true understanding of what we really do. In a way, the robots may work as a mirror, showing us, what it ultimately means to practice law.0As one of the first books in this area, it seeks to explore the fundamental questions to be considered both by legal tech providers and legal service organizations (law firms, businesses, public authorities and courts) and the society as a whole, when developing and using robots in the legal profession. The fundamental question on how much work can be left to the robots, will be tentatively answered, and a new approach to the design of the man-machine interface will be presented, including a comprehensive catalogue of suggested items to be addressed, when developing or using robots in the legal profession.

Data shows that there is an obvious gender imbalance in legal profession in Pakistan. The study was taken under the objective to find out the main reasons and causes of the gender imbalance in the legal profession in Pakistan. Gender discrimination is mainly considered the major factor behind gender imbalance in the legal profession in Pakistan. For the purpose of exploring the field the researcher framed the research question and collected public opinion through surveys and interviews. The opinion collection through questionnaires was taken from two cities and interview taken from government officers as well as senior lawyers.Due to limited resources, the researcher selected two district bars of Lahore and Faisalabad. The analysis made from the data collected shows that the legal profession is not gender biased. Females do not feel insecure in the legal profession and there is no harassment or eve-teasing in the workplace. The findings and conclusion shows that gender imbalance is not totally due to gender discrimination but it is one of the many factors that cause gender imbalance in the legal profession.

In a modern, civilized, democratic and political state like India, it is the law of the laws – the Constitution of India – which has conferred freedom on us and the right to live with human dignity and conscience. The constitution's widespread and deeply pervasive network of laws leaves hardly any human activity outside its net which is not governed by some law or the other. Birth, death and marriage have to be registered. There are laws on how to move or drive on the road, how to travel, where to smoke or not to smoke, what to eat and what not to eat, where to go and where to refrain from going and so on. The air that we breathe, the water that we drink, the food that we eat, and the house in which we live are all governed by law. From a little child purchasing an eraser or a pencil, to an adult travelling by air within or outside the country – all are subject to the law. Law determines the boundaries of human behavior which determines the limits of transgression as well as compliance. Everyone is supposed to know the law and the ignorance of law does not excuse anyone. So pervasive, complex and fast changing are the laws that a car bumper reads "Do it today, tomorrow it may be illegal," such is the pace of today's growth and evolution of the law.
