The accountability premium

A lawyer’s ability to stand behind their legal work is a real advantage over legal AI. But for many clients, paying more to transfer risk to a lawyer is a luxury — and maybe soon, an unnecessary one. Jordan Furlong’s opening keynote at ABA TECHSHOW March 26, 2026 in Chicago addressed two critical questions facing the legal profession right now: “As AI displaces lawyers from a growing share of legal task performance, what will be left for lawyers to do?” and “How are we going to develop lawyers when we don’t know what we’re training them for, and when we can’t count on law firms to do the training anymore?”

When Your Biggest Client Starts Eating Your Firm

Josh Kubicki⁠ identifies a significant risk that will impact large law firm services to global enterprise wide clients. As Kubicki details, the single largest buyer of elite legal services in the world is now funding the construction of an AI law firm designed to do that same work. This not hype. This is not a pilot program. Blackstone and Norm AI are, per their own public announcement, “collaborating to shape and develop Norm Law legal services for Blackstone’s use.” The client is co-designing the firm that will compete with its own outside counsel. And it’s not being subtle about it.

The CIA World Factbook, the Access to Information Crisis, and the U.S. Role in the World

Terminating the publication of the CIA World Fact Book is yet another example of this administration’s actions to remove public access to long established, accountable and accessible government documents. Jennifer Elisa Chapman shines a spotlight on how this “essential part” of the U.S. and the CIA’s legacy ended on February 4, 2026, impacting cross disciplinary researchers, educators, journalists and students.

This article is the seventh in a series focused on how the second Trump presidency unleashed a causal chain that has rapidly morphed into an extensive continued attack against civil liberties, commerce, government funded programs, research and the rule of law. The attacks quickly escalated beyond the federal sector into the private and non-profit arenas. In alignment with the Project 2025 roadmap cultural, historical and political censorship has made deep inroads into many aspects of American life. Sabrina I.
