About a year ago, I decided to take a DEEP dive into the world of #legaltech.

I’ve since spent 1000+ hours consuming legal tech content – articles, tweets, podcasts, video walkthroughs, you name it.

🧵of 15+ sites and newsletters that I’ve found particularly helpful!
First, a shoutout to the many incredible legal tech commentators & content creators out there.

If I’ve missed any legal tech websites or newsletters, please drop a comment below!

Needless to say, there’s a TON of great content shared elsewhere. On any given day, you can find a Twitter thread or LinkedIn post with great insights, healthy debate, etc.
When I embarked on my legal tech journey, I couldn’t find an organized breakdown of websites and newsletters. So, hopefully this is a useful resource, whether you’re a #legaltech rookie or veteran.

If you found this 🧵 helpful, please retweet and share!

🎯 So important. Best way to find sticky, actionable legal tech insights? Try to bridge:

(1) legal tech content / outlooks that you encounter in articles, podcasts, etc.
with
(2) actual convos that you have with lawyers & stakeholders.
If your experience ends up being similar to mine, you'll encounter gaps. Sometimes legal tech-ers miss certain considerations that are really important to users. Other times they focus on considerations that barely move the needle.
I'll have a deeper 🧵 on this soon (based on my real-time, #buildinpublic experiences with @StandardDraft).

For now, want to share this great @ArtificialLawya piece that captures the spirit → artificiallawyer.com/2022/09/26/tow…
