Today's Video Focus: More than 1,000 counterprotesters gathered near the White House in Washington DC on Sunday to rally against a scheduled Unite the Right rally. The demonstration was held on the first anniversary of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned violent and led to the death of Heather Heyer.
Focus of the Day Story:
A future where law firms are ‘distributed entities’ based on
blockchain and smart contracts, and lawyers will add value by being
“stronger” trusted advisers assisted by artificial intelligence, has
been mapped out by futurologists. The centralised command
structure of law firms – in common with other businesses – would be made
redundant under this vision, and lawyers would be rewarded on a
super-efficient ‘peer-to-peer’ basis, instead of being promoted to
equity partnerships.
