As discussed in yesterday’s part one, this post is the second in a three-part series of reflections on the ReInvent Law Silicon Valley event, held in Mountain View Calif., on March 8, 2013, and what it meant to the authors and to the broader movement for innovation in law.

Today, March 8, 2023, marks 10 years since Daniel Martin Katz, Renee Knake Jefferson and a group of colleagues and students from Michigan State University School of Law hosted ReInvent Law Silicon Valley at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.

On this episode of LawNext, we take a closer look at Smokeball, the law practice management company whose roots are in Australia but that is firmly entrenched in the United States. In fact, after Smokeball was founded in 2010, its very first customer was a law firm in Chicago.

ABA TECHSHOW kicked off in Chicago last week with its traditional opening event, the Startup Alley pitch competition, in which 15 legal tech startups present three-minute pitches in pursuit of top honors.

At ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago last week, it struck me that it is conceivable that an attendee could be the third generation within a family to have been to a TECHSHOW. After all, the conference was first held nearly four decades ago, way back in in 1987. That means that, in a multi-generational family

In a major win for the law practice management platform CosmoLex, it has entered into an agreement with the 36,000-member Canadian Bar Association to be the CBA’s exclusive preferred practice management software for members.

With ABA TECHSHOW beginning Wednesday, you can expect several companies to introduce new products and features this week.

The additional features,
For many law firms, live chat is a critical link in converting prospective clients to actual clients. While few firms have the capacity to manage live chat themselves, there are a number of companies that provide this service for law firms.

With revenues last year of some $5.5 billion, the Dutch company Wolters Kluwer is a major global publisher of information for professionals in law, health, accounting and compliance. But something that always seemed askew to me about its corporate organization was that its two principal legal product groups, Enterprise Legal Management Solutions (ELM) and Legal
The law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has lost its bid to dismiss four of five counterclaims filed by the legal technology company Xcential Legislative Technologies in a lawsuit over ownership rights to legislation-drafting software that each side says was its idea.

Kathryn Tewson was a little-known paralegal when, on Jan. 24, she was suddenly thrust into the spotlight. That day, she published a scathing series of tweets recounting her investigation of DoNotPay, the company that describes itself as “the world’s first robot lawyer.” She concluded that the company’s supposed AI-driven products were little more than
