Innovation and Impact

Paving the way for the legal industry’s future

At IE Law School, we know that the legal world is much more than a field of study. That’s why our school strives to build a solid foundation of training, innovation and reflection to drive progress in law—a highly demanding and multidisciplinary sector. In order to foster a holistic vision, we’ve created a series of disruptive initiatives that go far beyond our academic programs, actively helping our students and the global legal community to acquire a universal perspective of legal practice. These initiatives are based on three pillars: professional law, jurisprudence and social sciences.

These three pillars represent our training activity, our response to new challenges and our critical and reflective dimension. At IE Law School we’ve created specific initiatives in order to achieve these objectives: the LawAhead Hub, the LegalTech Innovation Farm, the Clinical Legal Education, the Global Legaltech Venture Days and the Blueprint for Global Legal Education.

Lawahead Hub

A collaborative environment to anticipate change. With this initiative, IE Law School intends to create a global community of professionals who analyze trends and generate responses to the greatest questions and opportunities posed by globalization, digitalization and competitiveness. Ultimately, LawAhead is a unique platform that allows us to explore and share solutions to future challenges.

LEGALTECH INNOVATION FARM

An open, neutral and technological ecosystem created to cultivate technological experimentation and drive innovation in the legal sector. Members of this space have the opportunity to direct Innovation Labs, allowing them to complement their business ideas with technological and analytical developments. The LegalTech Innovation Farm thus provides an unprecedented environment for the creation of disruptive solutions, where inspiration for the legal field’s newest tech trends can thrive.

Legal Clinic Education

The Legal Clinics are the direct reflection of an innovative teaching methodology that places the focus on the student. With this methodology, undergraduate and postgraduate students have the chance to gain in-depth knowledge of legal practice by advising NGOs and startups under the supervision of IE Law School’s instructors and professionals. Thanks to the Legal Clinics, our students can enjoy an enriching real-world experience that allows them to immerse themselves in the professional world of law, while simultaneously contributing to the betterment of society.

Global Legaltech Venture Days

In the Global Legaltech Venture Days we travel across the world to meet legal professionals who share a passion for legal technology and a desire to disrupt and improve the legal profession through technology. This global startup competition focuses on legal technologies that have a positive impact on major challenges faced by legal operators or legal systems with the aim to improve their operations and promote the cause of justice.

Blueprint for Global Legal Education

How is globalization and technology, amongst other drivers, impacting legal education globally? To respond to this question, IE Law School has been designated as the coordinator of a global and ambitious research project by the International Bar Association and the Law Schools Global League to develop a blueprint for global legal education that will help legal education institutions navigate the ongoing paradigm change.
