LSI Faculty Director Gary Marchant, Bryce Suzuki (Bryan Cave) and Todd Taylor (ASU Blockchain Research Lab) published the featured article on blockchain and the practice of law in this month’s Arizona Attorney Magazine.
The article, Blockchain: How It Will Change Your Practice of Law, explains the ins and outs of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and other applications for this emerging technology. The article also discusses the nascent regulatory environment around blockchain and whether certain applications could replace some areas of legal practice entirely.
Suzuki and Taylor are part of the ASU Law Blockchain Interest Group, headed by Marchant, which brings together law students, attorneys, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to build and share expertise in blockchain technology and the rapidly changing law and policy environment.
