Awards Restore Faith In The Profession - At Least For One Night - Above the Law
"Last week, Suffolk Law School became the latest venue for the American Legal Tech Awards ceremony, an event informally called "Legal Tech Prom" as the legal technology world's best and brightest trade the corporate-branded quarter zips for evening formal wear. While the red carpet may lack custom Versace gowns, it does feature a bunch of people who just spent 45 minutes watching YouTubers explain how to tie a bow tie. For what it's worth, this is a good one and only required two viewings."
"With its strong tech and innovation bona fides, Suffolk Law was the obvious choice to host the event in Boston. Home to the Suffolk Legal Innovation & Technology Center and the associated LIT Lab, Suffolk takes a tech-forward approach to training its students, embracing the innovation and change that the rest of the profession grumbles about "the kids watching TickerToks" while dictating their email responses to an admin."
"LawDroid's Tom Martin serves as an adjunct professor at Suffolk and is also one of the Awards' founders along with Vanderbilt's Cat Moon and attorney Patrick Palace. Palace is also the current President of the National Conference of Bar Presidents, and "President of Presidents Palace" has a real "we're all about to be expendable extras in 300 " feel to it."

Founders of the Awards include LawDroid's Tom Martin, Vanderbilt's Cat Moon, and attorney Patrick Palace. Palace serves as current President of the National Conference of Bar Presidents. Damien Riehl returned as host and presented legally themed song parodies, including a Little Shop of Horrors–inspired piece about artificial intelligence performed with Jackie Schafer of Clearbrief. The nominees and winners demonstrated the broad scope of legal technology.
