LegalTechLIVE

Jeff Rovner is the Managing Director of Information at O'Melveny & Myers. He was a practicing lawyer for 14 years. As time went on, he worked to automate more of his own practices. After a while, his experience of trying to automate his own practices, turned into his full-time job. Now he's responsible for selecting technology to be used at the firm. If you are a vendor selling to law firms, we highly recommend watching this episode. Mr. Rovner, provides 7 different elements he looks for when selecting technologies for the lawyers at his firm. This episode was specially requested from the LegalTech Community on Facebook. Many of the startup founders and developers in the community requested information on selling #legaltech to #biglaw. We cannot take any credit for the episode, as we just facilitated it. We appreciate the community telling us what information they needed. We are bringing more similar interviews in the future.

If you haven't heard of Trellis Legal Intelligence, Trellis.Law for short, we recommend you start paying attention. This #legaltech #startup is on fire! With more than $6M in funding and famed board member and venture capitalist, David O. Sacks on board, we're expecting continued explosive growth for this company. If you want to experience the most powerful legal research and analytics platform designed specifically for state court practitioners, we recommend you give this software a try. There are dozens of other platforms focused on federal practice, but we know of no other companies focused where most lawyers practice... State court! Whether you want to see how specific legal issues are decided across counties, understand how your judge has ruled on similar motions, or gain strategic insights on your opposing counsel. Trellis is intelligent research for smart litigators. Upon watching this episode, we'll understand if you become a raging fan of Nicole A. Clark. She is the kind of energized founder we wish we could have on the show every week. Prior to founding Trellis, Nicole Clark was a business litigation and labor and employment attorney who handled litigation in both state and federal courts. Get to know this amazing #femalefounder. We are joined once again by co-host Kimberly Bennett, of K. Bennett Law. You'll see how wonderful Kimberly is as a co-host. During the interview, Nick messaged the live audience to say "see why I have Kimberly co-host, it makes my job so easy." More about Nicole A. Clark & Trellis.Law: Nicole A.

We committed to doing at least one episode a month on the topic of #accesstojustice. This is one of those episodes. The way Amanda Brown came to our attention was her incredible hustle to improve access to justice for consumers in Louisiana. She definitely encompasses the entrepreneurial spirit, even though she works in the #legalaid field. Amanda Brown's personal website refers to her as "young lawyer and #legaltech geek." Legaltech geek? That's our entire demographic! Amanda recognized a need for a centralized technology resource center, so she formed Lagniappe (LAN-Yap) Law Lab to serve Louisiana's civil justice system. Her organization, she is the founder and Executive Director, provides direct technology consulting and project management services to legal service providers and justice community members across the state. Through the use of technology, design thinking, and operations principles, Lagniappe Law Lab aims to put people at the center of the legal process, bringing a more streamlined legal service experience to Louisiana's underprivileged populations. After continually seeing amazing efforts by Amanda, Nick Rishwain asked her to join and share about her innovative solutions to civil justice problems. During the recent COVID-19 crisis, Amanda went to work using document automation service, Community Lawyer, to create several simple solutions for those impacted by the crisis. She created a rent relief "letter generator" where consumers could input their data and have a professional letter drafted, which they could then send to their landlord asking for a rent reduction or other relief. Soon thereafter, Amanda noticed the need for some guidance with the economic impact navigator related to the CARES Act stimulus program. Being proactive, she created a simplified version to help marginalized populations discover if they could expect any stimulus money. There was only one co-host to be chosen for this episode. Diego Alcala, a past guest-host, assisted Amanda in creating the Spanish-language version of the rent relief tool. We hope you enjoy this episode and Amanda's proactive efforts to better serve consumers in her state.

Devshi Mehrotra and Leslie Jones-Dove were graduating seniors at the University of Chicago, when they created their criminal justice reform #startup, JusticeText. Their company enhances the legal discovery process with a comprehensive video evidence management tool, created initially for public defenders. Public defenders can upload body camera footage, interrogation videos, and jail calls up to 4 hours in length to our online portal. JusticeText generates an automated transcription of the uploaded video evidence, notifying you upon completion. Public defenders can then use the JusticeText interactive editor to edit, comment on, and export the generated transcript. In essence, they have created a productivity tool to help speed the analysis of audio and video used in criminal justice matters. Check out these inspiring guest, youngest founders to date, and learn how they're putting their computer science skills to use to improve the criminal justice system. #legaltech #justicetech We're joined for the first time by former guest and now co-host Johann Drolshagen of Judicial Assessment Solutions.

Jorge Izquierdo, CEO of Aragon.one, believes that decentralized organizations can solve the world's problems. He and his team are working to create a decentralized autonomous organization, #DAO, capable of solving those problems. We had him on the show to discuss the AragonProject, found at aragon.org, and their digital jurisdictions and digital court. You can actually sign up to be a juror and help solve disputes taking place in their system. You do have to use Ethereum coins to buy tokens on the Aragon system in order to be a juror. But in order to see how a digital court is already working, testing out this service is valuable. Nick Rishwain was joined, again, by former guest and friend Adam Kerpelman of Juris. Adam is quite knowledgeable in a variety of technology areas and has written a white paper on #blockchain technologies similar to what Aragon has instituted. If you really enjoy seeing Nick Rishwain out of his depth... which isn't too hard to do, you'll enjoy this episode where Jorge and Adam talk shop and Nick listens. #legaltech #crypto More About Jorge Izquierdo & Aragon: Jorge Izquierdo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/izqui9.

As we describe in this interview, Richard and Nick have teamed up as media partners for Legal Innovators California.
