Austin’s most anticipated yearly event is back and lawyers have many opportunities to learn about legal trends and the future of the profession while taking part in the festivities.
South by Southwest has been offering continuing legal education and other law-related programming since 1998, and this year it features panels on everything from cybersecurity and robots to copyright infringement in music and the creation of a legal system on Mars.
We’ve perused hundreds of session descriptions to highlight our list of some of the top legal-related events at the March 10-19 conference. A SXSW badge is required to attend (CLE events are open to all badgeholders; other events require the specified badge(s)).
You can follow our coverage on Twitter (hashtag: #sxsbot), Facebook, Instagram, and the Texas Bar Blog for recommended panels, updates, and photos. And don’t miss the May issue of the Texas Bar Journal, which will feature an overview of the conference’s legal-related events.
