I alluded to last week’s Legaltech Week roundtable discussion on Monday. Now that it’s online, here is more info about the discussion.

Legaltech Week is a weekly round table discussion featuring leading legal technology journalists from around the world. The show is “held over happy hour” (well, it is 5 o’clock somewhere), it is recorded live, and it is open to the public – in fact, you can register to attend the live tapings.

Each week, each journalist on the panel brings their favorite story from the week’s news and opens it up to group discussion.

It was an honor to sit in as a guest panelist in last week’s Legaltech Week roundtable discussion along with Bob Ambrogi of LawSites, Joe Patrice of Above the Law, Jean O’Grady of LegalTech Hub, Jeff Brandt of the Pinhawk daily newsletter and Stephanie Wilkins of Legaltech^® News!

The stories we discussed were as follows:

• Bob: Citing ‘Political Challenges,’ ABA Innovation Center Cancels Op-Ed Advocating Regulatory Reform; In An Exclusive, We Have the Piece They Wouldn’t Publish; here is a link to that piece.
• Joe: iManage/ATL Report on Cybersecurity
• Jean: Don’t Kill the Golden Goose – Survey on 30 Years of Legal Publishing Mergers
• Jeff: 44% of Investment Bankers Think They Can Make Lots of Money Off of Attorney Insecurity (AI), from the 3 Geeks and a Law Blog
• Stephanie: MIT Task Force Proposes Principles for the Responsible Use of Generative AI in Legal (which I already covered here)

My contribution was The ILTACON 2023 Word Cloud about the upcoming ILTACON conference and what the agenda tells us about the topics to be covered.

The discussion was enjoyable and entertaining, with great audience participation as well! You can check out the discussion here. Better yet, subscribe to follow the discussions weekly!
