Disruptive Innovations & Legal Infrastructure

This course helps students understand innovation and the law from the perspective of innovators who seek to bring an innovative product, service or idea to market and the tensions they encounter working within existing legal frameworks that may not be optimally or structurally suited to their innovation. The course will also explore evolutions in the design, process, regulation, funding frameworks and technology that have already occurred and what these suggest about the future trajectory of legal services. The course will be taught though a series of “use cases” and examples.  Students will be given the opportunity to work through their own specific use case.
