The Center for Law, Science and Innovation recently held two deeply engaging workshops on cutting-edge issues in emerging technology, governance, and legal practice.
First, the Third Annual Legal Analytics and Big Data Workshop was held on November 2. Big data, legal informatics, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the practice, management, and study of law. This workshop featured more than 30 experts, academics, and practitioners discussing the present and future of legal analytics.
The following day, the Center held the First Annual Dennis Karjala Memorial Workshop. This workshop honors passionate scholar and longtime member and friend of the Center, Professor Dennis Karjala. The Karjala Workshop will feature discussions on cutting-edge issues in innovation governance and emerging technology. This year’s theme was Blockchain in the Courts.
