Daniel Martin Katz has a knack of drawing a big audience, and the now that he has settled into his new job he’s already ramping up his latest agenda. On Friday, Nov. 4, Katz will launch Fin (Legal) Tech – A Conference About Law’s Future.
In August, Katz hit a home run at ILTACON (the International Legal Technology Association annual conference) with his keynote discussing his current passion: Fin (Legal) Tech — The Financialization of the Law. The time has come to rethink the economics of law, he argued. It’s time to create financially rigorous measures of the value of legal services — law firms must build a more perfect supply chain and move many decisions from “art” to the “science” column.
On Friday, Nov. 4, Katz is launching Fin (Legal) Tech, a day-long conference sponsored by the school and Nextlaw Labs. Explains Katz: “#FinTech embraces two major themes-characterizing/pricing increasingly exotic forms of risk and removing unnecessary frictions from previously friction laden financial centered processes. #Fin(Legal)Tech is the application of those ideas and technology to a wide range of law related spheres including litigation, transactional work and compliance.”
The agenda will address:
1) Quantitative Legal Prediction-From Costs to Outcomes (and Beyond).
2) Legal Underwriting/Characterizing (Pricing) Legal Risk/Legal Portfolio Management.
3) Markets for Legal Finance/Legal Insurance.
4) Computable Contracts, Blockchain. New Legal Information Infrastructure.
5) Toward the Frictionless Delivery of Law.
