SESSION ONE – Legal Tech and the Innovation Ecosystem

This session will anchor the sessions to come by providing an overview of the state of “legal tech,” from e-discovery and technology-assisted review (TAR) to software that performs advanced legal analytics and outcome prediction, online dispute resolution (ODR) platforms that many courts have begun to deploy, and a growing catalog of digital tools that serve the unrepresented. Drawing together experts on machine learning, the organization of the legal services industry, and legal ethics and lawyer regulation, this session will provide a portrait of the current state of the art and legal tech’s likely trajectory over the near- to medium-term.
