Software is transforming legal practice – but you would never guess that in the halls of many law schools, where legal education teaches many of the same things it did 40 years ago. Tanina Rostain is breaking that mold at Georgetown. In 2012, Tanina and fellow Fastcase 50 honoree Roger Skalbeck hosted the first “Iron Tech Lawyer Competition,” in which students in their Technology, Innovation, and Law Practice class designed software to address legal needs cost-effectively.
