Texas A&M University School of Law was among the primary sponsors at the Ignite Law-Las Vegas Conference in early September.

Milan Markovic spoke on how Texas A&M Law is integrating legal technology into law practice. He said this will help lawyers do their job better, and that the school is benefiting from programming with tech companies, including Avvo, Legal Zoom and more.
He hopes other law schools can gain such experience.
“I also encouraged legal tech companies to reach out to law schools and engage with them because we've changed a great deal since the time of Kingsfield,” he said.
Arturo Errisuriz, Assistant Dean, Office of Career Services, attended the conference with Markovic and said it was very successful.
“The conference provided us with a unique opportunity to connect with attorneys on the forefront of where technology and the law come together so that we can better prepare our law students,” he said.
