Hello and welcome to the site. This is a companion blog/website to my newsletter on legaltech and techlaw issues, Lawyer Ex Machina. Every week, I post a list of articles I think are interesting in areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and cryptocurrency, data analytics, cybersecurity, social media, innovation in the legal industry, and more.

The newsletter is very well-sustained on a nice platform called Buttondown. But I wanted to have a complementary site for things that may not fit the newsletter. And having the newsletters archived elsewhere also appealed to me, so each newsletter will be republished as a blog post, usually within 48 hours of going public.

As mentioned on the About Us page, the newsletter is largely devoted to the law community at UCLA Law, but it is open to all for reading. I’ve tried to indicate where items may be behind a paywall, although I do also attempt to find a non-paywalled version of the information to link to, if available.
