The future of law requires a mentality of a world of law without walls.  Given the needs of the new global, complex, multi-disciplinary legal marketplace, successful lawyers and law schools of tomorrow must be creative problem solvers and leaders with a higher risk tolerance and business mindset who can use technology, social media, and teaming and communication skills to overcome the walls of law.  

Solutions to the challenges of tomorrow call for even more collaboration and permeability between legal practice and legal education (during and after law school), an interdependent relationship with reciprocal obligations, and more interaction among people of different disciplines and different cultures around the world.  

The mission of LawWithoutWalls is to accelerate innovation at the intersection of business, technology, and law through a dynamic, transformational, collaborative experience that seeds a community of global change agents that can, together, meet the needs and solve the problems of today’s complex, technological, global marketplace.
