Vibe coding is a pretty big deal—especially for lawyers. Defined as the practice of using artificial intelligence tools to create software through verbal prompts and then having the AI write the underlying code based on those prompts, vibe coding has plenty of applications and implications for lawyers.

Lawyers can create all sorts of programs and applications to help make them more productive—and custom build them to fit their practices and needs. But of course, with any powerful technological tool, there are some risks and things you should be careful of—and that’s especially the case when it comes to vibe coding.

In this episode of the Legal Rebels Podcast, Jamie Tso discusses with the ABA Journal’s Victor Li what vibe coding is, how it can help lawyers, and what legal issues they should be aware of.

He co-founded LegalQuants, a community-driven network for lawyers, legal professionals and law students who actively build their own technology to practice law, earlier this year. He is formerly a senior associate at Clifford Chance and helped popularize vibe coding in the legal sphere, using AI to create several programs to help lawyers be more productive, including contract evaluation, redlining and document generating tools.
