21st Century Law – An Overview

“The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking” – Bill Gates

Law has always been an ever changing body, but now, more than ever, not only is the content of law, but the very way that law exists in our society, is shifting at a rate never seen before.

As with much of the legal field, legal writing and lectures can seem impenitrable to an outsider. In this blog, I aim to make lectures, articles, books etc. relating to technology in law more accessible, as well as seperate explanatory notes on legal technology and innovation topics to give a comprehensive overview of core legal issues in this area.

I am not an expert in this field but hope that I can develop this knowledge over time in the making of these blog posts and that my lack of knowledge at the start of this journey will act as an asset – allowing me to better explain, in simple terms, concepts and relevant legal issues.


Any mistakes, innaccuracies or misrepresentations are entirely my own error for which I take sole responsibility and will rectify upon becoming aware of the situation.


Rachel Lawson – I am a 2nd year Scots Law student at the University of Dundee, the 2019 recipient of the Harold How memorial award (for most meritorious first year law student) and have an avid interest in how the legal field will develop in the coming years and technology’s impact on this.
