Mapping Legal Innovation

The legal sector is being hit by profound economic and technological changes (digitalization, open data, blockchain, artificial intelligence ...) forcing law firms and legal departments to become ever more creative in order to demonstrate their added value.To help lawyers meet this challenge, this book draws on the perspectives of lawyers and creative specialists to analyze the concept and life cycle of legal innovations, techniques and services, whether related to legislation, legal engineering, legal services, or legal strategies, as well as the role of law as a source of creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.With 16 contributions by Daniel Martin Katz, Illinois Tech - Chicago Kent College of Law ? Todd Lubart and Branden Thornhill-Miller, Paris Descartes University ?
