Marchant on Innovating Lawyers for Emerging Tech Regulation

Faculty Director Gary Marchant recently sat down with ASU Now to talk about what is sometimes known as “the pacing problem” – where the speed of technology outpaces traditional governance and regulation.

Deciding how to speed up necessary regulation, and where to back off to promote development, will require new innovative tools and attorneys. The Center for Law, Science and Innovation has been focused on emerging technologies and governance for over 30 years. Training law students in the latest technology and legal issues is key.

“That’s the future. It’s not human lawyers. It’s not machine lawyers,” said Marchant. “It’s humans plus machines working together.”

This approach is part of what pushes ASU to the top of the rankings for innovation. The US News and World Report has ranked ASU the most innovate school in the nation for a fourth year in a row.

ASU President Michael M. Crow sees this ranking as evidence of the success of ASU’s innovation mindset: “It acknowledges something important about who we are and who we will continue to be: a university that brings diverse intellects together to solve the most pressing issues of our time.”
