A for-profit membership organization aimed at driving technology innovation and adoption in the legal industry made its formal launch yesterday. Called Evolve Law, its primary focus will be on promoting collaboration among a “community” of lawyers, law firms and innovative legal technology companies in order to speed adoption of new technology.
“The focus is to make some noise and shake things up in the legal industry,” co-founder Jules Miller told me during an interview yesterday with her and fellow co-founder Mary Juetten. “We’re trying to get people to listen.”
“The message is that the legal industry is changing,” Miller said. “If lawyers are not using the technology that’s out there, they’re going to be left behind.”
