Upcoming CLE Events

The Innovation Center promotes career pathways in a wide variety of areas at the intersection of law and technology, including digital transformation of the legal profession and the growth of technology-driven fields such as legal operations; legaltech applications in areas such as contract automation and artificial intelligence; and transactional practice in areas such as intellectual property licensing, software-as-a-service agreements, privacy, fashion, and media.

A key aspect of the Innovation Center’s work is the research and development of software applications that aid the practice of law, support in-house counsel and compliance, and promote the public interest. Students develop software as part of the Center's work with leading corporations such as Microsoft, software Demo Days, and other activities.
