Insightful interview with Roland Vogl, Founding Director of Stanford Law School's Center for Legal Informatics (CodeX) , a couple of weeks ago, before the Seventh FutureLaw Conference last week on 4 April 2019, focusing on how technology is changing the legal profession and the law itself.

Valuable as much for its express content, as it is for reading between the lines and thinking about many other aspects of the disruptive changes currently going on around the globe.

Vogl's has selected five technology areas as growing in importance for the practice of law, which he summarises under the headings: Legal Research, Big Data Law, Computational Law, Legal Infrastructure and Online Dispute Resolution.

From the UK and European perspective, I am now somewhat curious to ascertain how often used and written about in the general legal press and the more specific legal tech press at present is the subject of "computational law" as a branch both of law and legal tech. Brief desktop research suggests to me much less often than other topical areas of new law and new legal tech.

Finally, the interview is educational and informative because it references a nice sounding acronym of "LEX Talks", standing for “Law, Education and Experience” talks. Looking forward to these becoming a regular community of interest activity.

In summary, this short interview is a very good read.
