As awful as was the year 2020 for so many reasons, my year-end report last year found reasons to be optimistic. “The silver lining of 2020,” I wrote, “is that we have been forced to consider changes that were long overdue and then given the opportunity to implement those changes.”. This year, my report is tainted by a degree of pessimism. As I survey the legal profession broadly, and the world of legal tech and innovation specifically, I see uncertainty and inertia.

Bob Denney was a kind, generous and insightful man who had his finger on the pulse of the legal profession like no one else. For nearly 30 years, Bob published a newsletter under the banner of “What’s Hot and What’s Not” in the legal profession. When the reports went digital, several of them were featured on Attorney at Work. In a few lines, he would use the breadth of his insights to clue us in on recent developments and upcoming trends.

With the Legalweek conference scheduled to convene in New York City in just a month, I began to hear rumors from multiple sources this week that it was being postponed due to the surge in coronavirus cases resulting from the Omicron variant. To find out if that was true, I reached out to Mark Fried , CFO and president of events at ALM , the company that produces Legalweek. “This is patently false,” he said in an email this morning. “Obviously we are exploring options but we are

In my LawNext podcast , I have the great privilege of engaging in conversations every week with the “innovators and entrepreneurs who are driving what’s next in law.” That “what’s next” spans a range of topics, from rethinking legal education to innovating legal practice, from developing new technology to driving greater diversity.

Twenty twenty-one has been a year of uncertainty for the legal profession, as we have wrestled with the question of returning or not returning. Whether it has been to the office, the courtroom, or legal conferences, we have been unsure whether to go back or not. Perhaps that explains why my most-read post of the year was one I wrote in August, just a week before ILTACON, explaining why I had decided to reverse course and not attend in person.
