Michael Mills practically invented the modern role of Chief Knowledge Officer, serving in the role at Davis Polk & Wardwell for more than 20 years. As an encore, Michael is helping to reinvent lawyering with Neota Logic, software that allows lawyers to build expert systems. As the access to justice gap widens and legal costs climb, expert systems may be one of the most promising ways to bridge the gap. Michael has deep connections with other Fastcase 50 winners this year – Neota Logic was the platform of choice among law students in the Iron Tech Lawyer Competition conducted by Tanina Rostain and Roger Skalbeck, and he is the vice chair of Pro Bono Net with Mark O’Brien.
