Getting Serious About the Future of the Legal Services Industry : Restaurant Chains Have Managed to Combine Quality Control, Cost Control, and Innovation. Can Health Care { or for that matter Legal Services } ?

One of my last conversations with the late Larry Ribstein was about the very idea in this article … not applied to medicine but rather to law … What if the sort of processing engineering that gave rise to the CheeseCake Factory was a play in the delivery of legal services? Very solid food ( yes I know it is not 5 star dining ) but it is quite affordable for most folks on a Friday night 🙂
Suffice to say this (and legal information engineering) is where a significant of the growth (jobs) in the legal services industry will be located (as we showcased at our recent London event … and will do so at our upcoming Dubai and Silicon Valley events)
If you are a law student reading this post – please understand that you can be a leader in this space as it is still in its infancy. There are lots of law startups working in this and allied domains but it is highly unlikely that your law school can help you acquire the skills you need to play ball in this arena … If you want to do what is described above you need a mixture of skills (not just law) …

Legal Information Engineering & Technology (with Economics of Tech + Design) – Part of the MSU/Westminster – 21st Century Law Practice Summer Program London 2012
I will be posting materials from my 21st Century Law Practice London Summer Program Course to the course website here (or click on the image above).
This 1 Credit Course is part of a total 3 credits in the summer program which also include 21st Century Law Practice (taught by Professor Renee Newman Knake @ MSU Law) and The Legal Services Act and UK Deregulation (taught by Professor Lisa Webley @Westminster Law & Professor John Flood @Westminster Law).
Students will finish this two weeks of intensive training in law, technology, innovation, (de)regulation by participating in the public LawTechCamp London 2012 which will take place on June 29, 2012 in Central London. All students will attend this event of industry leaders and several will present their ideas regarding the future of {law+tech}.
