This course is part of the 2023 Augsburg Summer Program and taught by Prof. Daniel M. Katz (Chicago-Kent College of Law).
Legal innovation and technology are no longer themes relevant for legal professionals only in the future. Organizations across the legal industry are currently leveraging technology in ways that have allowed clients and consumers to access legal services more efficiently, effectively, and at a lower cost. This course introduces students to legal innovation and technology at a high level. Students will examine the market forces driving innovation and glimpse use cases from large law firms, corporate in-house legal departments, legal aid, and legal tech startups, as well as emerging organizations like law companies. Students will also have the opportunity to see examples of applied technology from legal professionals and lecturers from all around the globe.
