Vanderbilt Law School recently launched an exciting new initiative called the Vanderbilt AI Legal Lab (VAILL) to explore how artificial intelligence can transform legal services and access to justice. In this episode, we spoke with VAILL's leadership – Cat Moon,(
Caitlin “Cat” Moon teaches in the Program on Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt Law School, where she also serves as the Director of Innovation Design and directs the PoLI Institute (innovatethelaw.com), Vanderbilt Law's innovation-focused executive education platform. Cat co-founded PoLI's Summit on Law and Innovation (SoLI), which brings together experts across legal, technology, and other disciplines in collaborative legal innovation projects. She currently teaches Legal Problem Solving, a course in human-centered design for law, as well as Law as a Business, Legal Operations, Leading in Law, and Data in Law Practice. Cat also contributes to the Medical Innovators Development Program and is on the faculty of Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt School of Medicine, where she brings cross-disciplinary experience to innovation across medicine and the law. Cat's research focuses on how we might use the tools of innovation and human-centered design to improve and expand access to legal services and the law generally. She also studies the professional formation of lawyers in the 21st century from a holistic perspective. Cat is a co-creator of the Delta Model, a 21st-century framework for lawyer competency, and a co-founder, with Professor Alyson Carrel, of Design Your Delta, a playbook for holistic professional development grounded in human-centered design principles and methods.
Cat Moon leads the Program on Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt University's law school, a role that she took on after practicing law for nearly 20 years in Nashville, Tennessee. At PoLI and beyond, for the last several years she has become a passionate voice for making lawyers - and law - better. Mike Madison talks with Cat about PoLI, her vision for future lawyers, and her work helping to build and promote the Delta Model for lawyer competence. Cat Moon's biography at Vanderbilt Law.

In this episode, we are once again joined by Tunji Williams, co-founder of DealWIP, which has now been "paused." The team did what they could with the long sales cycle for legal technology companies. Their productivity tool was spectacular and solved a real problem. Unfortunately, that is insufficient for success in the software game. Tunji was kind enough to join Cat Moon and Nick Rishwain to give us his experience in the startup world, what went well, what went wrong, and how he's moving forward. This is a very candid and transparent discussion. Tunji answered all sorts of questions from our live audience. Nick was joined by first time co-host, Professor Cat Moon. Cat Moon is the Director of Innovation Design for the Program on Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt Law School. In this role, she works with PoLI colleagues to design the curriculum for both the JD program and the PoLI Institute, which provides interactive training in legal innovation to practicing lawyers and legal professionals.

In this episode no. 11, I interview lawyer and academic Caitlin "Cat" Moon; the Director of Innovation Design for the Program in Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt Law School and Director of the PoLI Institute which provides training in legal innovation to practicing lawyers and legal professionals. I could relate to the fact that Cat’s experience spans academia, innovation, private practice and public service law. The expansiveness of her work means she can see synergies where others don’t and add value across many areas. You will want to listen to this episode if you are interested in knowing about human centred design, essential factors for positive change, the importance of mindsets, and some of the unexpected benefits of legal innovation. This interview will appeal to a broad range of listeners and especially be of interest to you if you are a legal educator or law student, legal designer, chief innovation officer or tasked with bringing different programs or mindsets to your organisation.
