CodeX’s FutureLaw Conference 16, which will be held on May 20 at the Stanford Law School, includes three “breakaway” sessions, that run simultaniously starting at 2 p.m. They include: “Track A: Barriers to LegalTech Adoption and Possible Solutions;” Track B: The New Legal Tech Communities; and Track C: Legal Technology in the Adademy.”

Track A: Barriers to Legal Tech Adoption and Possible Solutions
“Many legal technology providers encounter lack of trust in their products as a viable complement or substitute to traditional legal services. A number of ‘coordination problems’ persist and keep us from designing a new system,” the organizers wrote.”  The panel will discuss examples of successful efforts (and failures) and the role of regulators, insurance and other related issues.

Track B: The New Legal Tech Communities

“New kinds of communities are forming around the intersection of law and technology.  These groups are bringing together entrepreneurs, academics, lawyers, and clients in new and exciting ways,” the organizers write. “In the process, they are reinventing the way that innovation is coming to the legal industry and creating new roles for its players.  This panel will feature representatives of four different types of communities.”
