Roughly 89% of legal claims never reach a lawyer, and legal AI may be the first real fix. JP McAvoy talks with Jennifer Case, CEO and founder of LawTech AI, about the access-to-justice gap and how AI could close it.

In this episode:

  • Claims between $10,000 and roughly $40,000 are too big for small claims court and too small for most lawyers. AI can make them affordable to pursue.
  • The American Arbitration Association’s AI arbitrator reads the paperwork, applies the law, and suggests a winner in construction disputes.
  • AI drafts discovery responses so lawyers can spend time on strategy, clients, and business development.
  • Expect fewer entry-level roles, more small firms, and AI-native practices that handle intake with AI.
  • Cheaper justice must be safe: business-tier tools, humans in the loop, and no lawyer letters pasted into free ChatGPT.

Jennifer also explains why her clients keep AI memory in their own document systems, and why she’s cautiously optimistic about AI safety.

Takeaway: The biggest opportunity in legal AI isn’t helping big firms work faster. It’s serving the people the system has priced out.
