Name me fortunate. Each week, I get to sit down down on the mic for my LawNext podcast and have a dialog with the main “innovators and entrepreneurs who’re driving what’s subsequent in regulation.”
For me, every one among these conversations is enjoyable and interesting. However I’m equally fascinated so as to add up the numbers on the finish of the 12 months and see which subjects and company you, the listeners, discovered most attention-grabbing.
So, as I do yearly, I’ve compiled two lists right here. The primary lists the highest 15 episodes revealed throughout 2023. After that, I record the highest 15 episodes of all time, no matter after they had been revealed. (The first episode of LawNext was posted on July 16, 2018.) In every case, the rankings are based mostly on distinctive downloads.
Hottest this 12 months: My interview with Daniel Martin Katz and Michael Bommarito simply after their first strive at having GPT take the bar examination. Apparently, one other high episode was my interview with the three founders of Casetext — earlier than they introduced their $650 million acquisition by Thomson Reuters.
Additionally well-liked had been my dueling, back-to-back interviews with DoNotPay founder Joshua Browder Kathryn Tewson, the paralegal who investigated DoNotPay’s merchandise; an interview on the Fastcase-vLex merger with the founders of each firms, in addition to a reprise of an earlier interview with Fastcase’s founders; an interview with Clio founder Jack Newton on the teachings he’s discovered over 15 years; and a 2022 year-end retrospective with LexFusion’s founders Joe Borstein and Casey Flaherty.
Rounding out the preferred this 12 months had been interviews with 4 authorized innovation leaders recorded reside on the NetDocuments convention, Axiom’s Chief Technique and Authorized Officer Catherine Kemnitz on its opening a regulation observe in Arizona, Smokeball’s Chief Income Officer Jane Oxley and President Ruchie Chadha, Idea and Precept founder Nicole Bradick, Documate founder Dorna Moini on rebranding as Gavel, BYU Legislation’s Gordon Smith on stepping down as dean, and AltaClaro founder Abdi Shayesteh on coaching legal professionals to make use of generative AI.
