About

What’s the Library Innovation Lab?

The Library Innovation Lab is a forward-looking group of thinkers and doers working at the intersection of libraries, technology, and law.

Transform: Justice is a call to action during an inflection point for the world of open legal data. AI is shaking up the way we all think about the power of information and data. Free, accessible, and comprehensive access to the law is foundational to our democracy, and we believe we’re in a moment when big progress can be made.
