Welcome to the first-ever edition of the MasterClass Series on the Lawyers in the Making Podcast! With this series, I will be bringing back former guests to have a stand-alone episode all about the specific expertise they have honed and perfected throughout their careers.
For this episode, I bring back Matt Preston, whose original episode remains one of my favorites. But this MasterClass episode with Matt takes the cake. Matt goes through his journey with ChatGPT, and how it has changed both his personal and work life for the better. The insights in this episode left me speechless, at just how powerful the capabilities of AI in the legal world can be!
Matt Preston is a University of Michigan graduate who works as a Judicial Law Clerk at the U.S. Court of Appeals and as the chief financial officer of the Legal Accountability Project.
