LegalTech and law school

It's great to see law schools around the world including new legal innovation and design modules in their syllabuses and it's indicative of the fact that the legal ecosystem is recognising that lawyers of the future will need a broader skillset, drawing on skills from other industries such as six sigma or design thinking. Students will also need to learn about the changing legal mindset, how law and regulation is adapting to a digital landscape and how in-house legal functions are impacted by this - and that’s without mentioning legal technology, computer science and data analysis. It's an exciting time to be a junior lawyer.
