When we started the Program on Law & Innovation here at Vanderbilt Law School five years ago, we launched with two courses: Legal Project Management, taught by PoLI Coordinator and Adjunct Professor Larry Bridgesmith, and my Law 2050 class that surveys the post-normal times in the legal industry. With a strong commitment to delivering vital curricular content to our students, I am happy to report that we have now built out to ten courses, five of which are in the PoLI “core” course set plus five more advanced and specialized courses firmly within the PoLI space:

• Law 2050
• Legal Project Management
• Legal Problem Solving (taught by Cat Moon, our new Director of Innovation)
• Law as a Business
• Legal Practice Technology
• Blockchain and Smart Contracts
• Robots, AI, and Law
• Role of In-House Counsel
• Disruptive Technologies and Law
• Corporate Legal Risk Management

With this diverse and deep set of course offerings, we aim for PoLI to equip our graduates to dive into the “river” of change in the legal industry and see it as an opportunity, not a threat.
