This ABA program featured substantive programs and social events designed to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta and to the rededication of the ABA memorial at Runnymede. The program was excellent and allowed for study of Magna Carta and its continu- ing influences as well as visits to some of the important historical sites associated with Magna Carta, to include the Inns of Court, Knights Church and Westminster.

  • A Philosophy of Technology for Computational Law
    © Mireille Hildebrandt, draft chapter for OUP’s The Philosophical Foundations of Information Technology Law, eds. David Mangan, Catherine Easton, Daithí Mac Síthigh A philosophy of technology for computational law Abstract: This chapter confronts the foundational challenges posed to legal theory and legal philosophy by the surge of computational law. Two types of computational law are at stake. On the one hand we have artificial intelligence in the legal realm that will be addressed as data-driven law, and on the other hand we have the coding of self-executing contracts and regulation in the blockchain, as well as other types of automated decision making (ADM), addressed as code-driven law. Data-driven law raises problems due to its autonomic operations and the ensuing opacity of its reasoning. Code-driven law presents us with a conflation of regulation, execution and adjudication. Though such implications are very different, both types of computational law share assumptions based on the calculability and computability of legal practice and legal research. Facing the assumptions and implications of data- and code-driven law the chapter will first investigate the affordances of current, text-driven law, and relate some of the core tenets of the Rule of Law to those affordances. This will lead to an enquiry into what computational law affords in terms of legal protection, assuming that one of the core functions of the law and the Rule of Law is to protect what is not computable. Keywords: positive law, rule of law, legal certainty, justice,

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT COMPLICATED: AI, APPS & ACCESS TO JUSTICE EMILY S. TAYLOR POPPE* Introduction Women’s garments typically have buttons on the left side with openings on the right, opposite the orientation of men’s garments. The practice is clearly a historical relic, with the best explanation being the following: when clothing designs became standardized, the wealthy women who could afford buttons did not dress themselves.1 The servants who dressed them were more likely to be right-handed, so the buttons were positioned on the woman’s left to make it easier for servants to manipulate the fasteners.2 This “button differential” reflects the fact that at one point in time, for the wealthy female portion of the population, dressing was not a task one did for oneself.3 Today, the placement of buttons is all that remains of this history.

  • Blocked-Chain: the Application of the Unauthorized Practice of Law to Smart Contracts
    Blocked-Chain: The Application of the Unauthorized Practice of Law to Smart Contracts SARAH TEMPLIN* INTRODUCTION In the decade since the release of the Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto,1 computer scientists and crypto-experts are on the cutting edge of using the blockchain for a wide array of uses, including currency and contracts. These uses of the blockchain have been slowly encroaching into regulated areas, including areas that may be ethically left to professional lawyers as practices of law. Regulators are taking notice of smart contracts and the blockchain. U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner Brian Quintenz expressed his perso- nal opinion that code developers of smart contracts using the blockchain could be under the regulatory purview of the CFTC. 2 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission brought an enforcement action against a crypto token trading plat- form that used a smart contract to execute trades.3 With regulators taking notice of the use of smart contracts in the marketplace, it seems almost inevitable that the regulators of the legal profession, including the state bar associations and state courts, will take notice of the ethical implications of the use of smart contracts on the legal profession. This note will explore the application of the unauthorized practice of law doc- trine to smart contracts and the implications for the legal profession of this appli- cation. In Part I, this note will summarize the mechanics of the technology of smart contracts and the blockchain, which forms the basis for today's smart con- tracts. In Part II, this note will explore the development and divergence of state doctrines of the unauthorized practice of law.

  • Online Legal Services: the Future of the Legal Profession
    Online Legal Services: The Future of the Legal Profession By: Richard S. Granat, Esq. President, DirectLaw, Inc. | Granat Legal Services, P.C. http://www.directlaw.com | www.mdfamilylawyer.com Introduction This statement discusses the delivery of online legal services over the Internet, and how rules of professional responsibility can function as a deterrent to innovation in the delivery of legal services. Certain ethical rules have the effect, in my opinion, of making legal services higher in cost than they should be, uneven in quality, and unresponsive to what the average consumer really wants. The legal profession is highly stratified, with the largest number of practitioners, who are either solo practitioners or who work in small law firms, serving consumers and small business. Our largest law firms generally serve large corporations and their interests. My experience has been primarily with solos and small law firms serving consumers and small business. I am also a solo practitioner, operating a virtual law firm in Maryland, where I am a member of the bar, from my home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Thus my remarks should be understood from that perspective, although some of my analysis also applies to large law firm. ****** Background: Information Technology and the Legal Profession In general, the American Bar Association (ABA) has urged the legal community to get online. In 2000, ABA President William G. Paul established the "eLawyering Taskforce: Lawyers Serving Society through Technology" with the purpose of enabling lawyers to figure out how to deliver legal services online. At the time, President Paul observed that many industries were being transformed by the Internet and that consumers were conducting transactions online in such industries as the travel industry, the brokerage industry, the insurance industry, and the banking industry.

  • The Dawn of Fully Automated Contract Drafting: Machine Learning Breathes New Life Into a Decades-Old Promise
    THE DAWN OF FULLY AUTOMATED CONTRACT DRAFTING: MACHINE LEARNING BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO A DECADES-OLD PROMISE KATHRYN D. BETTS AND KYLE R. JAEP† ABSTRACT Technological advances within contract drafting software have seemingly plateaued. Despite the decades-long hopes and promises of many commentators, critics doubt this technology will ever fully automate the drafting process. But, while there has been a lack of innovation in contract drafting software, technological advances have continued to improve contract review and analysis programs. “Machine learning,” the leading innovative force in these areas, has proven incredibly efficient, performing in mere minutes tasks that would otherwise take a team of lawyers tens of hours. Some contract drafting programs have already experimented with machine learning capabilities, and this technology may pave the way for the full automation of contract drafting. Although intellectual property, data access, and ethical obstacles may delay complete integration of machine learning into contract drafting, full automation is likely still viable. INTRODUCTION Transactional lawyers have been notoriously slow to integrate technology into their practices.1 The prevailing opinion among these practitioners is that the reasoning required to draft complex transactional contracts is uniquely human, and beyond the capability of technology.2 This reluctance to innovate has far-reaching effects: foregoing potentially † Kathryn and Kyle are graduates of Duke University School of Law, Class of 2016.
