LAW 6361 - Technology, Innovation, and Law - Designing Legal Apps
Credits: 3
Exposes students to the varied uses of computer technologies in the practice of law. Familiarizes students with various innovative software platforms that are being adopted in law practice to enhance access to justice, capture legal expertise, interface with clients, manage litigation and transactional processes, and increase the efficiency and quality of legal services. Introduces students to justice/social justice issues through readings and guest speakers. Students learn teamwork, an understanding of the relationship among the rules and doctrines that apply within a particular legal regime, and visual literacy skills. Students work in small teams for a law school clinical program or a legal service organization to develop a platform, application, or automated system that increases access to justice and/or improves the effectiveness of legal representation. Culminates in an app design competition, which is judged by outside experts in the field. The goal is that, by the end of the semester, each team will have built a functional app that is adopted by the legal clinic or legal service organization and put into use for the organization or its clients.
