CHOOSING CAN BE A CHALLENGE
With keynotes, plenary sessions, seminars — and the lure of the exhibit hall — there’s learning galore!
Choosing which programs to attend at Legal Tech New York can be more
challenging than deciding which apps to
put on your smartphone. Here are 12 suggestions to get you started.
1. LTNY opens with a keynote from
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner (and
former U.S. Solicitor General) Theodore
Olson, discussing “Recent and Upcoming Supreme Court Cases.” Sponsors:

or ordinary (weight loss). Sponsor: Dis-coverReady (#134-136). (Thurs. 9 a.m.)
