Tim Hwang

Tim Hwang does more than think and pontificate about how algorithms and computing power will change the practice of law – he skipped a few steps and created a law firm with his robot overlords, Robot, Robot & Hwang LLP. Tim also ran the inaugural CodeX FutureLaw Conference at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics this past spring, where other insightful thinkers and entrepreneurs collaborated about once-whimsical but now essential topics like big data and volume delivery of legal services and, of course, robot law. This kind of conference planning would be daunting to most, but was a walk in the park for Tim, who founded ROFLCon, the Awesome Foundation for the Arts and Sciences, and the Web Ecology Project.
