Ron Dolin

Stanford Law is a hotbed of activity in legal tech, producing a wave of innovators, conferences on technology in law, and incubating new ideas about the important role that design plays in people’s understanding of law. And quietly, behind the scenes, Ron Dolin is at work creating new opportunities, mentoring, teaching, angel investing, and advising students. Ron is an entrepreneur, an engineer, and a lawyer, although not always in that order. He has a Ph.D. in computer science and was one of the first 100 Google employees, but left Google to get a law degree and to teach legal informatics at Stanford Law. And in the last year, he co-founded the Program for Legal Tech & Design, teaching law and design-school students how to use human-centered design to improve legal services and increase access to justice.
