ABOUT US
Legal Innovation is a key opportunity for new legal thinkers in the 21st Century. The practice of law isn't hugely different than what it was inthe 1990s, 1950s or 1900s. No other profession has been static... and the stresses on the profession and the clash with the demands of the contemporary world are starting to show.
If you take a doctor out of the 1800s and ask them to practice now, they wouldn't know where to begin.
If you take a barrister out of the 1800s and ask them to practice now, they'd at least find the forms and theatre of the law similar. They'd know to read the statutes, and to research case law. They'd at least be able to muddle through.
It shouldn't be that way. We can do better. Lawyers can and should be innovators, tossing out the lethargic structures and finding better ways.
