Teaching and Academic Leadership
I'm a tenured professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, where I teach courses on legal innovation & technology.
I also serve as Assistant Dean for Innovation, Strategic Initiatives, and Distance Education. In this capacity, I oversee Suffolk Law's Institute on Legal Innovation & Technology. The Institute include’s Suffolk Law's academic concentration in Legal Innovation & Technology (for current Suffolk Law JDs), and also of our online Certificate in Legal Innovation & Technology (for legal professionals).
In addition to my work at Suffolk Law, I've also served as a Visiting Professor at the MIT Media Lab (Human Dynamics Group), where I taught a graduate course called FutureLaw; a Faculty Associate at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University; and a Visiting Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School.
I am a proud to have been named to the FastCase 50, which "honors the law's smartest, most courageous innovators, techies, visionaries, and leaders." The ABA Journal has called me "perhaps the most tech-savvy law professor in the country" and named me to the “Web 100” (one of 100 legal professionals they recommend following online).
Speaking and Consulting
My consulting work focuses on helping law firms, legal departments and other organizations that delivery legal services change their their culture so they can work better, faster, and less expensively. Past projects have involved legal departments from the Fortune 500, law firms of varying sizes, courts, and legal aid organizations.
I am also available for speaking (conference keynotes, law firm retreats, or custom trainings).
Feel free to contact me and we can decide if I'm a fit for your group.
