Class 01 (Law and technology)

  1. Read our syllabus.
  2. By Thursday at noon eastern: Create a list of 200 potential future technologies.
    1. Identify the first 100 technologies without using any external sources or tools.
    2. Identify the second 100 technologies by critically engaging with (and therefore not merely copy) external sources and tools (including generative AI).
    3. Ensure your document complies with the course instructions for assignments, name the file "Class01 TechnologyList.pdf", and upload it here.
    4. Bring a printed copy to class.
  3. Read Law and Technology.
  4. Browse the website for TechInLaw: The Technology, Innovation, and Law Collaborative.
  5. Slides for class

Class 02 (Problem-solving overview)

  1. Reflect on how you solve problems, and create a flowchart showing your problem-solving process. Bring a copy to class.
  2. Read Peace Corps Theory of Change Model.
  3. Read John Gilmore et al., Four Reasons Lawyers Fail to be Viewed as Strategic Advisors.
  4. Read Ben W. Heineman, Jr., William F. Lee, and David B. Wilkins, Lawyers as Professionals and as Citizens: Key Roles and Responsibilities in the 21st Century (pages 9 to 16 only).
  5. Read Questions for the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy.
  6. Create a vignette for class: Prepare a talk that, in no more than 60 seconds, presents an issue to your colleagues. The issue can be a topic, a challenge, or an opportunity. For example, "Covid-19" is a topic, "South Carolina's vaccine rate is too low" is a challenge, and "Can we use what we've learned during the pandemic to reduce the impact of other diseases such as the flu?" is an opportunity. The issue does not need to be legal in nature (although it can be). It does need to be understandable and otherwise accessible to your colleagues -- and your talk should provide the information necessary for your colleagues to meaningfully analyze it. You should also be prepared to answer any questions your colleagues pose about the issue.
