The Technology & Innovation Law Society was founded in 2025 by two engineers who are pursuing their Juris Doctor at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law, Danny & Erin.
Innovating at the intersection of law and technology.
We’re building a community at the intersection of law and technology, one that champions ethical innovation and shines a light on the important work already underway. Through governance frameworks, public education, and critical conversation, we aim to support a more transparent, accountable, and just digital future. Together, we’re not just imagining what’s next. We’re helping shape it.
