Georgetown law professor Launched the Iron Tech Lawyer competition to judge students’ access-to-justice apps “I was a little hesitant to move into this field because I don’t know how to code. (My computer background dates back to learning some Fortran in high school in the late ’70s). I didn’t realize when I started that it isn’t about the specific technologies, but about what technologies can do to improve client service, strengthen client-lawyer collaboration, and make law practice more efficient. How technologies work and what they do are really two different issues. It’s much more important to be a lawyer than to understand the technical details. An important implication for me as a law professor is that legal technologies need to be incorporated into the law school curriculum. [And] as I became more involved in the field, I also discovered that I could learn the answers to my more technical questions the way everyone else does: Google it.”
