Daniel Rodriguez
As the Dean at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, Dan Rodriguez was a vocal advocate for updating the curriculum of the legal academy. He helped to raise almost $220 million for the school, which eased the financial burden on students, and he virtually led the entire legal academy as President of the Association of American Law Schools in 2014. But he also had, and continues to have, a monumental interest in technology. From advising ROSS Intelligence and hosting the Planet Lex podcast, to starting a Master of Science in Law (MSL) degree at Northwestern for STEM professionals, Dan is always looking for new ways to push the field into the future. Just this summer he was appointed Chair of the American Bar Association’s Center for Innovation’s governing council.
