Professions And Expertise: How Machine Learning And Blockchain Are Redesigning The Landscape Of Professional Knowledge And Organization, John Flood, Lachlan Robb

University of Miami Law Review

our imagination and judgment to decide which story will appeal to an audience,

and creatively tell those winning stories.
