About

What we accomplished in 2019/2020 before COVID-19:

The Center for Law, Science and Innovation has been an established leader for over 30 years in addressing the extraordinary legal and regulatory problems caused by rapid developments in science and technology. The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University was the first in the country to create a center to address these challenges. As technology increasingly assumes a central role in our lives, the center is uniquely positioned to be an innovator and leader in the teaching and application of 21st century law and policy.

Projects

The Center for Law, Science and Innovation is working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and the law. Our groundbreaking projects and programs include:

Our neuroscience events focus on different findings each event, with one of our more recent events being the Aging Brain, and the legal and ethical dilemmas behind the developments in neuroscience, genetics and the clinical treatment of dementia and aging.

Blockchain is predicted to become a foundational technology underlying international supply chains, smart contracts, new personal identifications systems, medical advances and much more. LSI is host to workshops and speaker series focused on blockchain and the law, as well as its popular Blockchain Interest Group.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way companies do business and hire employees, governments provide services, and attorneys practice law. 

With the increase in infringement of patents reading on complex products, the international Patent Remedies for Complex Products (INPRECOMP) will help advance scholarships in this area by bringing together leading international patent scholars.

Substantial progress has been made in understanding the role of human aging as the main force of diseases in regards to aging.  A number of interventions have found promising data on the rate of the aging process as well as reducing the rate of multiple chronic diseases and could possibly improve the human healthspan in regards to the quality as well as length.

The eDiscovery and Digital Evidence conference is focused on the practical and cutting- edge issues that are affecting electronic information, information governance and data analytics. The conference brings together attorneys, jurists, and legal and technological professionals to discuss the wide array of issues between current and emerging technologies.

The annual GETS conference, held in May consists of plenary and session presentations and discussion on regulatory, governance, legal, policy, social and ethical aspects of emerging technology. Submission for abstracts are encouraged by the co sponsor and can be submitted here.
