Nominations are now open for the annual American Legal Technology Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievements in various aspects of legal technology.
You'll be shocked to learn that this year we've added a new award category, the Artificial Intelligence Award, which focuses on innovations that apply AI to law.
The second new category this year is the Journalism Award, which recognizes journalists whose reporting on legal innovations has helped expose risks and inspire positive change.
The award will be presented at a gala dinner on the eve of the Clio Cloud Conference on October 6 in Austin, Texas. The dinner will be held at the off-site event venue, Bar Mansion.
“We’re excited to be hosting a destination event this year,” said Tom Martin, co-founder of the award (CEO and co-founder of LawDroid). “The Barr House is truly magical and the perfect place to celebrate the incredible achievements of this year’s legal innovators.”
