About Law Technology Now

Law Technology Now is a professional legal-technology interview show about the systems reshaping legal work. Its center of gravity is practical change. Across the sampled episodes, the show follows AI tools, data privacy law, e-discovery, remote education, legal pricing, wrongful convictions, social media, and platform regulation. The conversations are usually grounded in institutions rather than hype. Law schools, law firms, clients, legal technology companies, and regulators all appear as parts of the same modernization problem. The show is especially interested in what lawyers can measure. When AI enters the discussion, the focus quickly moves to validation, testing, effectiveness, explainability, and technological competence. That gives the show a useful skepticism. It does not reject technology, but it keeps asking for proof. Episodes on cost prediction and practice management carry the same impulse into law-firm operations, where billing data becomes a way to forecast complex legal work and manage matters more deliberately. Privacy episodes connect consumer rights, cookies, advertising markets, and platform power to the working questions lawyers face in advising clients. The Facebook litigation conversation frames competition, privacy policies, and behavioral advertising as linked legal problems. Other episodes broaden the field. Wrongful convictions and social media bring public attention, lawyering, and criminal justice into the technology conversation. Reflections on law schools show how remote and hybrid systems forced legal education to make fast decisions without a single central authority. The pacing is calm and seminar-like. It rewards listeners who want context more than quick takes. The recurring theme is that legal innovation needs people, process, data, and technology working together. For legal professionals, the show offers a grounded map of where the profession is changing and where it still needs discipline.

Made for: Best suited to lawyers, law professors, legal operations teams, law students, and legal technology companies who want careful discussion of how data and software affect legal work.

What sets it apart: The show stands out by treating legal technology as evidence-based professional change. Its conversations keep returning to testing, competence, process, cost, privacy, and institutional responsibility.

In their own words

Our new monthly podcast features the editor-in-chief of Law Technology News, Monica Bay, interviewing key experts of the legal technology community, about top issues confronting the legal profession. If it's tech, it's a potential topic — from e-discovery to network infrastructure; from creating courtroon graphics to launching "green law" programs. Each month, Ms. Bay will bring LTN's pages alive with brisk, incisive discussion of today's top trends and developments
