This October, students from three North Carolina law schools gathered at North Carolina Central University to participate in the fourth annual Legal Design Derby focused on access to justice. Co-hosted by the Duke Center on Law & Technology and the NCCU Tech Law & Policy Center, this human-centered design sprint provided students an opportunity to contribute their ideas to the new Legal Aid of North Carolina Innovation Lab. (Transcript forthcoming)

The Data Governance Design Conference (DGDC) convened policymakers, industry, academia, and legal practitioners to explore models, needs, and enabling environment for data governance.

The DGDC featured expert-level content, for a select audience of data governance leaders, toward establishing a practice-led research agenda that unlocks the field’s tremendous potential.

The Duke Center on Law & Tech hosted the 2018 Duke Law Tech Lab Demo Day + Celebration on October 5, 2018 at the Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship Bullpen in downtown Durham. The event was the culmination of the light-touch legal tech accelerator hosted.

This event was also sponsored by Latham & Watkins, Thomson Reuters, and Travelers Insurance, as well as NC Community Sponsors, Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company of NC and Smith Anderson.

The Law and Technology Society hosts a panel conversation on "Virtual Reality and the Law." The panel is moderated by Professor Jeff Ward, joined by Helen Bertelli of Infinite Global, a professional services marketing firm, where she helps law firms leverage VR to improve their practices; Mike McArdle of Lucid Dream - a VR company which has collaborated with Infinite Global; and Brandon Huffman from Odin Law and Media, where he advises companies in the VR and AR space.

Ethical questions posed by emerging technology, aptitude in case-management tools, and other topics at the intersection of technology and law, are all part of the Duke Law curriculum. This short documentary focuses on the use of virtual technology in litigation and trial, using 360-degree virtual cameras.

The project was funded by the Duke Digital Initiative, a multi-year program of experimentation, development and implementation of new and emerging technologies to explore their use in support of the university’s mission.

Jeff Ward talks about his experiences both as a student and as a clinic director.
