The Future Law Podcast

Lisa Leong and her business partner Tristan Forrester spent some time hanging out with the delightful Professor Dan Klein from Stanford University. In this full interview, you will learn: – how to think like an Improviser and why it is important for cultivating an innovation mindset – how improv can encourage lawyer creativity – a few simple improv games like sound ball, and word-at-a-time proverb...

Introducing Lisa Leong, the diminutive disruptor, and Prof Dan Hunter, Dean of Swinburne Law School. Lisa reminisces about how they met – and then they chat about what this podcast is about, who it is for and why we started it. This episode explores Experience Design – and why, to them, innovation is not just “about the technology”. [This episode was published originally on January 31, 2019.]

Introducing our third co-host, Prof Mike Madison from the University of Pittsburgh Law School – who is no ordinary law professor. Mike has been ‘stockpiling’ legal education reformers for over a decade. Mike gives us a brief overview of US-style legal education. [This episode was published originally on January 31, 2019.]

In this episode, Lisa Leong, Mike Madison and Dan Hunter unpack “Artificial Intelligence” in the context of law. Prof Dan was on the public speaking circuit in the 90s banging on about AI – but in those days, no one was listening! He was so into AI that he would have dated Siri if she had existed in the 90s.

Our three brave co-hosts go “on tape” to predict what the legal industry will look like in 2028 (ten years from now). Dean Dan, Lethal Lisa and Most Interesting Mike cover law firms, lawyers and law schools. Nothing is safe. Platform plays and multi-disciplinary practices are also covered.
