LawTech and Education Providers

[Jonty]

Hi all,

Sorry for my prolonged absence. Had a holiday and then started working for a Lawtech company in June so have been busy.

Thought a quick write-up on education provider's response to the advancement of tech in the legal field may be interesting.

University of Manchester - Has launched an undergrad module in conjunction with Neota Logic & Freshfields - https://www.legalcheek.com/2018/06/...eshfields-to-launch-undergrad-lawtech-module/

University of Edinburgh - Have an LLM in Innovation, Technology and the Law - http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/llm_msc/innovation_technology_and_law

University of Swansea - Have launched an LLM in Legaltech - http://www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/law/llmlegaltech/

University of Westminster - Have launched an a core module for 2nd year students called 21st Century Law in conjunction with a new start-up lab they're running - https://www.westminster.ac.uk/law-courses/2018-19/september/full-time/law-llb-honours

University of Liverpool - Have announced a partnership with Kira Systems and Weightmans. Will be interesting to see if anything is incorporated into the undergrad degree - https://www.weightmans.com/media-ce...ems-to-develop-ai-capable-of-legal-reasoning/

Does anyone have any news about other providers who have announced anything?

Thanks for sharing!

I think the Legal Innovation Centre was posted here before: https://www.ulster.ac.uk/legalinnovation. I've also know Kings computing and law module (but that may be more IT law than legal tech): https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/depts/inf.../progs/pg/msccomputingitlawandmanagement.aspx
