Ken Hirsh has been urging the application of technology in legal education and law practice for 24 years. At Duke University School of Law he created its first local area network and one of the first computing services departments at a law school. He was instrumental in putting the school on the Web a year after Tim Berners-Lee had created it. With Wayne Miller, Ken co-wrote a seminal article on introducing law practice technology to the curriculum and created the course at Duke in 2005. He introduced an updated version of the course with Shannon Kemen at the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Ken is a member of the CALI Board of Directors and is now working to update the nationally known Securities Lawyer’s Deskbook, the Robert S. Marx Law Library’s contribution to the Free Law Movement.
