Law professor rethinks Microsoft Copilot after hands-on work inside a major law firm
jkubicki · x · 2026-10-22
IU Maurer law professor Jamie Kubicki, working with Ice Miller's AI lab, went from Copilot hater to partial convert: its lack of creativity means steerability and accuracy (valued by law firms), guardrails teach beginners what to do next, and scheduled agents across Outlook/SharePoint/Teams deliver AI where lawyers already work. Gripes: 'skill' files in Agent Builder feel redundant next to custom instructions, and terms differ from the rest of the industry.
