  • The State of Legal Innovation in Asia-Pacific
    FROM THE EDITORS This inaugural report was born of a common desire shared by SAL and the SMU School of Law to understand the phenomenon of legal technology and innovation – a phenomenon that has increasingly become the fixation of lawyers, technologists, regulators, and legal academics alike. In conceptualising what the report should cover, it quickly became apparent that focusing only on legal technology (“legaltech”) was too narrow a scope. Innovation, as the economist Joseph Schumpeter famously wrote, lies simply in “new combinations” of resources that either produce different things, or the same things by different methods. 1 Further, even with technology, the true machinery of the law is driven by people and institutions – by lawyers, courts, law schools, clients, students, knowledge engineers, technologists, and more. We therefore defined legal innovation broadly (and somewhat ambitiously) to cover five areas: technological innovation, regulatory innovation, innovations in the dispute resolution process, business innovation, and innovation in legal education. Chapter contributors were asked to respond to questions formulated along these five axes. Legal innovation has not traditionally been thought of so broadly. In academic literature at least, the phrase has more conventionally been associated with new laws and legal devices. One example is the invention of the poison pill in the 1980s.2 This innovation certainly reflects the ingenuity and creativity that lawyers have always had but does not take centre-stage in this report simply because our present focus is on innovation in the practice of law rather than in the law itself (overlaps exist). This report is not the first to study legal innovation this way.
