The investments in technology (machine learning) are creating competitive advantages for legal institutions in mass litigation
There is a potential growth in access to justice and an opportunity to improve legal services to those who cannot afford it
The introduction of machine learning in mass litigation does not mean a reduction of the number of lawsuits

As a University, we need to face the following dilemma: what will be the fundamental skills for a legal professional in this context?
