I have been encouraged to think about the issue of the ethics of innovation for a blog George Beaton has run where the comment section has gone into a rare kind of creative construction. It’s a big topic, and I cannot do it justice now. But I can try and post some pointers and thoughts; in the hope they provoke discussion.
From various quarters were hear, as cri de Coeur, the idea that innovation is either saviour or end of the legal profession. Both views are based on slightly different meanings of professionalism. And my intuition, based on reading hundreds of blogs and hearing dozens of speeches on the subject, is that the Innovators tend to mean that innovation is the saviour of law as a business and the Traditionalists that business is the problem, and on that basis innovation should be resisted. In reality though, both positions overlap.
