Calls to “future proof” the legal system against emerging technologies—AI, algorithmic decision-making, deepfakes, and more—now pervade public discourse. Professor Gregory Dickinson challenges the premise that rapid technological change requires similarly rapid lawmaking. Drawing on history, sociology, and public-choice theory, he argues that the most powerful tools for governing technological innovation are the general-purpose principles already embedded in our legal system. From Gutenberg’s press to modern AI systems, premature, technology-specific regulation often entrenches incumbents, suppresses experimentation, and destabilizes legal principles that have proven durable across technological eras. A legal system committed to generality, stability, and adaptability—rather than bespoke rules for each new invention—better protects both innovation and the rule of law.

Lunch will be served. Please register at the link. We hope you join us!

Dearest 2L,

Most big law firms pay for their incoming associates’ bar prep. However, students pursuing clerkships, government, and nonprofit positions immediately after graduation often do not have that same opportunity.

If your big law firm is paying for your bar prep course, it is highly likely that the bar prep company will also provide a course for a public interest “buddy.” There is no cost to you or your firm. This is a meaningful and immediate way to invest in access to public interest work and to support your peers!

At our 2L Bar Prep Matchmaking Mixer, Big Law 2Ls can match with a public interest 2L to help ensure that everyone has access to a bar prep course. If you are a student working at a big law firm, you would simply ask the bar prep company of your choice to extend bar prep coverage to your public interest buddy. We will provide next steps and suggested language to make that request easy.

This practice has been successfully carried out for years, and this project is designed to make the process smoother and more transparent.

You may already have a friend in mind to match with, and if so, wonderful! Drop by the mixer, grab a treat, and let us know via the survey! If not, we are here to help facilitate a match. Please fill out the survey below so we can better understand the bar prep landscape of the 2L class, and stay tuned for more information.
