Legaltech Week 1.22.21: Working Parents and the Pandemic, Plus Panelists’ Top Stories
A quiet week overall in legal technology news, but a Law.com article on the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on women and diverse attorneys generates impassioned discussion among the panelists.
Other stories we discuss include: an in-depth analysis of the legal tech market, the acquisition of a popular legal newsletter publisher, the hurdles to teaching tech to remote law students, the ABA Journal’s latest class of Legal Rebels, and a challenge to legal tech companies from Joe Patrice to develop a much-needed app.
