A self-professed legal futures and collaboration enthusiast, State Bar of Michigan Executive Director Janet Welch has written extensively about legal tech online and made preparing lawyers for the future of law one of the Bar’s top priorities. Under Janet’s leadership, the State Bar of Michigan released a wealth of recommendations on legal innovation titled “21st Century Law in Michigan – The Future is Now”. The massive undertaking not only gives lawyers in the state a roadmap for how their practices will develop, it also provides templates for other bar associations to use in order to develop their own guidelines.
