This is an interesting article about one professor's attempt to measure legal innovation. Michigan State University law professor Daniel W. Linna Jr.'s website Legal Services Innovation Index tracks the frequency of tech terms on law-firm websites. Professor Linna hopes his legal innovation index will serve as a metric to help measure legal innovation.
From the article:
“Linna’s attempt to capture the technology zeitgeist reflects several emerging legal specialties. Law firms drawing the most hits in Google queries were European giant Eversheds Sutherland, with automotive and cybersecurity practices; Seattle’s Davis Wright Tremaine, which organized a team last year around the blockchain technology that underlies bitcoin, and Littler Mendelson, a U.S. employment law boutique that scored highly on project management themes.”
