About a year-and-a-half ago, Tom Mighell and I decided to start an interview series on our podcast, The Kennedy-Mighell Report. We called it “Fresh Voices on Legal Tech” because we wanted to highlight both a new generation of legal tech and new perspectives and approaches on legal tech. We thought “fresh voices” covered what

How Can Law Professors Effectively Teach AI Literacy to Law Students?
Last spring at the Michigan State University College of Law and the MSU Center for Law, Technology & Innovation we introduced the “LegalRnD AI Studio,” a groundbreaking mini-course series designed to elevate law students’ AI literacy, focusing on practical skills in generative AI. I

Is your leadership team asking for more innovation from your law department? Is delivering innovation results on your department or personal annual objective list?
C-suites are demanding that their general counsels and law departments accelerate their efforts to keep pace with innovation goals across the organization. They want their law departments to be as creative
As summer arrives and my grading season has ended, I find myself eagerly anticipating some quality time experimenting with generative AI. After a spring semester filled with teaching a course on AI and the Law and conducting numerous prompting experiments, I am ready to continue my exploration.
