              Socio-economic Impact Assessment
              It is imperative to evaluate the potential socio-economic impact of
              AI on the legal profession and related industries, particularly with
              respect to the potential displacement and creation of jobs. Then

              of  AI  applications  in  specific  legal  processes.  Especially,  the

              be trained to use and interact  with  AI technologies.  This can
              foster a culture of continuous learning to keep legal professionals
              updated on AI advancements. For this purpose, training programs
              must be developed to tailor legal professionals to enhance their
              understanding of AI, its capabilities, and its application in legal
              processes. This may include workshops, seminars, online courses,
              and hands-on training sessions. Building capacity and providing
              effective  training  are  crucial  components  of  successful  AI
              integration in the legal system. This ensures that the technology is
              utilized optimally, ethically, and in compliance with legal standards.
              Recommendation & Solutions
              Hence policy makers and legal experts should collaborate to
              carefully evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of AI and create a plan
