Ignite Law 2011 Event to Focus on Legal Technology Futures

Feb. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- LexThink LLC, a legal innovation consultancy, and InsideLegal, the insider’s guide to doing business in legal technology, today announced the return of Ignite Law, an interactive and thought-provoking mind-sharing event focused on the future of law practice. Ignite Law 2011’s theme, “The future of law technology in six-minute increments” is designed to bring together the most creative and thought provoking ideas focused on the profession’s future. Ignite Law 2011 will focus on the future of the law technology, in honor of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the ABA TECHSHOW, taking place on April 10 at the Hilton, the eve of TECHSHOW. The ABA Law Practice Management Section, which produces the annual ABA TECHSHOW, is one of the marquee sponsors of the event, and provides the evening’s venue at the Hilton.

Ignite Law was inspired by the Ignite event format; a fast-paced, thought-provoking, high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have an idea. While Ignite events are now being hosted globally and focused on building local city-wide connections, Ignite Law is the only Ignite event specific to the legal community.

“LexThink has always been about legal innovation and changing the practice of law in ways to benefit lawyers and their clients. Ignite Law is a natural extension of this philosophy,” stated Mathew Homann, LexThink founder. “The Ignite format of sharing clever and innovative ideas in short twenty-slide presentations is very engaging and keeps audience members involved and alert. Ignite Law2010 featured 16 legal thought leaders posing their questions following this six-minute presentation format, in honor of attorneys’ six-minute billing increments. We look forward to seeing what topics are offered this year.”

JoAnna Forshee, CEO of InsideLegal, states, “last year we saw Ignite Law truly push the envelope as far as legal events go and provide incredible content due to the thought leaders that participated. The goal is to inspire new ideas and spark innovations surrounding the practice of law technology. The rapid fire presentation format and the opportunity for all players in the legal community – consultants, media, vendors, law firms, and associations - to actively participate make this a unique experience.”

In an effort to share Ignite Law 2011 with as many minds as possible, the producers have teamed with a multimedia company, to produce videos and audio of all presentations. All Ignite Law content will be available at www.ignitelaw.com as well as www.insidelegal.com.

Staying true to the spirit of Ignite, the Ignite Law event will be open to the public, on a first come first serve basis. Ignite Law talk submissions (will be submitted via the Ignite Law website) are open to all legal innovators and thought leaders and will be reviewed and approved by the Ignite Law 2011 producers.
