The American Lawyer Publishes Article by Torrey Young on How Technology Will Transform Trials in the Future

The American Lawyer (Law.com) featured an article by Torrey Young, “Technology in Trials of the 2030s,” that examines how rapid advances in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are poised to reshape the future of trial practice.
