The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics (CodeX, for short) is the Woodstock for legal technology — some of the most interesting projects in legal tech have come from, or through, CodeX, which Michael Genesereth directs (with fellow Fastcase 50 honoree Roland Vogl). At a time when artificial intelligence has captured the collective imagination of legal tech, Genesereth has literally written the book on it — The Logical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, and he teaches a class in Legal Informatics at Stanford Law School. Genesereth is a Swiss army knife of the tech world, combining work on Computational Logic and applications of that work in Enterprise Management, Electronic Commerce, and Computational Law. Genesereth serves as the director of the Stanford Logic Group, and was one of the founders of Teknowledge, CommerceNet, and Mergent Systems.
