\"prizeLegal technology doesn’t necessarily collect the accolades it deserves for improving the delivery of legal services. As Don Draper might say, “that’s what the money is for<\/a>” — at the end of the day good products can look to their sales for success. But while that may work for private sector tools, what about innovation aiming to bridge the access to justice gap? Some recognition can go a long way to getting some important tech into the hands of the people who need it.<\/p>\n

The American Legal Technology Awards brought some of this needed recognition in its second in-person gala event on Sunday night, just ahead of the Clio Cloud Conference in Nashville.<\/p>\n

The awards, founded by Tom Martin from LawDroid, Cat Moon of Vanderbilt Law School, and Patrick Palace of Palace Law, and determined by a panel of legal tech luminaries awarded 12 honors this year, up from eight last year, having added an Education category and split its existing Access to Justice category into A2J awards for Individual, LegalTech, and Legal Aid.<\/p>\n

Those are just 11 winners. The twelfth trophy went to Lifetime Achievement honoree (and occasional Above the Law columnist!) Carolyn Elefant, whose crucial work spreading the word about the latest technologies available to the industry has helped attorneys hang their own shingle for years.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the honorees.<\/p>\n
