There in the bar, it suddenly struck me that I was in a moment that summed up the very essence of what made this conference so unique. It was nearly 11 p.m. on the second night of the TLTF Summit outside Miami. A group of us were in the hotel bar, stridently debating whether an alternative business structure, licensed under Arizona’s liberalized legal regulatory scheme, could deliver legal services in other states.

by guest blogger Christine Haight Farley Because it is grading season, when I read the Second Circuit’s per curiam decision in Vans, Inc. v. MSCHF Prod. Studio, Inc. , 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 32063 (2d Cir. 2023), I already had my red grading pen out. The low grade the court earned is a consequence of it losing many points by misstating the law, misapplying the law, and especially skipping over the part where it was supposed to share its analysis and instead just stated its conclusion.

I want to take this opportunity to connect with you and expand upon my motivations for writing The Legal Tech Ecosystem. This book was a labor of love and of growth, born out of a passion for writing and a drive to overcome self-doubt. I must confess, I once viewed technology as a threat that would upend my career. The prospect of radical change bred fear and resistance within me.

And for most of us, there is no way to really evaluate whether the tools will do what the vendors claim. Or whether the claims are basically being offered to show the vendor is keeping up with other vendors.
