As the technology of the legal world evolves, so should attorneys evolve with it, but as with most technology, it is difficult for industries like legal to keep up. A “legal residency” program from UnitedLex targets training law school graduates in legal technologies to improve their “contemporary legal skills” that are not a part of the traditional law school curriculum. UnitedLex announced this week that it is adding Notre Dame Law School to its roster of schools associated with its two-year Legal Residency Program.
Speaking to Legaltech News, Joe Dearing, executive vice president of global legal solutions with UnitedLex, said that “litigation management, e-discovery, cyber security, contract management, patent licensing, IP management and immigration law” are some of the skills that are not a part of law school curriculum, and that the Legal Residency Program targets providing students with training “in key legal delivery growth areas,” and lets them “have significant client contact, and earn a paycheck comparable to a judicial clerkship.”
