Legal Technology and Operations

Can we use algorithms to predict court decisions? Can we design routine contracts in a way that parties understand them without a lawyer? Can we teach machines to exercise due diligence for an M&A transaction or bankruptcy case? How can law firms use technology and alternative providers to boost their service offerings? Join us this summer and apply legal process improvement, project management and legal design to real world scenarios.
