MSU College of Law hosts conference on future of legal tech

Michigan State University College of Law hosted legal professionals, students, entrepreneurs, scholars, and technology experts from around the globe in London, England, on Friday, June 14, to examine the future of legal technology and innovation. The free public event, ReInvent Law London, featured engaging talks from thought leaders in a range of fields that highlighted new ways to offer legal services in today’s global marketplace.
“The conference cultivated new ideas in law, technology, design, and delivery that have the potential to innovate the legal services industry,” said MSU Law Professor Renee Newman Knake, co-coordinator of ReInvent Law London 2013 and co-director of the ReInvent Law Laboratory at MSU Law. “Lawyers are regulated to the point where it stifles innovation. ReInvent Law is about imagining possibilities and gathering the game changers who will build the future of the industry.”
The next ReInvent Law event will be held in New York City this November.
