As 2017 winds down, Law.com reporter Ben Hancock and The Recorder bureau chief Ross Todd talk on this episode of Unprecedented about how technology and the law will collide in the New Year. There's the looming trial in Waymo v. Uber, litigation over the Tezos initial coin offering, and of course, the big digital privacy cases pending at the U.S. Supreme Court.
