Looking for news on legal innovation, technology and the changing business of law?

In his Lawtomatic Newsletter Gabe Teninbaum, professor at Suffolk Law School and visiting fellow at Yale Law School's Information Society Project, curates the most interesting, valuable and thought-provoking of these ideas to share. Here are a few examples from recent newsletters:

• Interview with LegalZoom's GC: Chas Rampenthal has interesting comments on LZ moving into foreign markets, smart contracts, and more. Given their $500m in recent funding and track record of doing impressive things, it's worth paying attention.

• Integra Ledger is Making Big Moves, including launching a tool to add blockchain to all existing legal software.

• The Disruptor We've Been Waiting for is...Procurement? It could be, says Deb Tesser (don't know what legal procurement is all about? Read this interview of Silvia Hodges Silverstein)

• Design Thinking is Fundamentally Conservative & Preserves the Status Quo: there are so many positive reports on DT's application in law, and it seems to be such a valuable tool for innovation...so it's valuable to read a skeptical perspective.

• Why is Microsoft Hosting its Law Firms in Redmond (and why it matters): an interesting piece by Zach Abramowitz.

• Legal Business World: this free, web-based publication has a series of terrific articles this issue on innovation in law. LBW is always worth a read/download, but more so even than usual with this time around.
