Save the date for the LLOPS Professional Development Conference: Innovate, Inform, Ideas. This year’s conference will be held on Tuesday, April 17 at the University of Washington. A brief description of the agenda is below with more details including registration information to come out soon.
Innovate: From Gwyn McAlpine, Director of Knowledge Management Services at Perkins Coie LLP, who will address Unconventional R&D. “Law firms want to innovate but it requires creative thinking and a tolerance of failure that their organizations may not have the stomach or bandwidth for. As a way to test out ideas and solutions with low investment, some firms are experimenting with alternate forums, such as student projects and hackathons. Hear about one firm’s partnership with a law school that is resulting in prototype automation projects for the firm and a unique educational opportunity for students.”
Inform: Lisa Marshall Manheim is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Law and co-author of The Limits of Presidential Power: A Citizen’s Guide to the Law. She will be speaking to us about this book.
Ideas: Discussion group breakout session.
The program will be followed by an offsite happy hour, planned by the Social Committee.
We hope to see you there!
Amy Eaton & Jessica King, your 2018 Professional Development Committee
