Vanderbilt University Law School professor Caitlin “Cat” Moon is making national news for her efforts to recruit an “army of innovators” to keep the legal profession open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since beginning to recruit legal tech professionals, she has amassed a group of more than 250 individuals who are willing to advise anyone looking to implement changes to keep courts, firms and offices open during the crisis. She also is “laser focused” on creating lasting change long after the pandemic is over, Above the Law reports. Moon, who is director of innovation design for the school’s Program on Law and Innovation (PoLI), says the biggest threat to lasting change is a quick return to normalcy without reviewing what worked in the pandemic and has value for the long term.
