“The landscape we all stand on is shifting, and massive amounts of change are upon us,” Phil Saunders, the chief executive officer of e-discovery and legal technology giant Relativity, recently wrote in a post on the company's blog. Driving that change are three transformative forces, he wrote: new legal data challenges, advancing generative AI, and legal's journey to the cloud.  On this episode of LawNext, Saunders – who joined Relativity as CEO in 2022 after three decades in the technology sector – joins host Bob Ambrogi to discuss why he believes that both Relativity and the legal industry at large are at a pivotal moment, and to outline his company's vision for navigating these three forces reshaping the legal technology landscape.  Within Saunders' blog post was a notable announcement: Starting in 2028, Relativity will require that all new matters be hosted on its cloud platform, RelativityOne – a significant milestone for a company that built its success on its on-premises Relativity Server product.  The conversation starts there, with what might be considered the last mile in the company's transition to the cloud. Saunders also discusses what attracted him to join Relativity, how the company is approaching the opportunities and challenges presented by generative AI, its work with the Legal Data Intelligence initiative, and his longer-term strategic vision for Relativity.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Joel Wuthnow and Dr. Phil Saunders join us to discuss their new book on the People's Liberation Army (PLA): “China's Quest for Military Supremacy.” They begin by explaining the motivations behind their book and the growing demand for a comprehensive resource on the PLA among students, policymakers, and defense practitioners. Dr. Wuthnow then outlines how the PLA has entered a “new era” under Xi Jinping, characterized by greater confidence, structural reforms, and an expanding operational reach. Dr. Saunders then highlights how the PLA is increasingly being used to shape the Indo-Pacific region, citing China's recent live-fire exercises near Australia and New Zealand as an example of its more assertive posture. Both experts also delve into key challenges facing the PLA, from Xi Jinping's efforts to tighten party control to persistent corruption and political reliability issues. They also assess how the PLA's rigid command structure and political indoctrination could undermine effectiveness in a crisis. Finally, the two experts assess the PLA's progress becoming more joint, its nuclear modernization efforts, and the broader implications for U.S. and regional security. They conclude by discussing their views on how a second Trump administration could impact PLA behavior and China's strategic calculations. Dr. Joel Wuthnow is a senior research fellow in the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs within the Institute for National Strategic Studies at NDU. His research areas include Chinese foreign and security policy, Chinese military affairs, U.S.-China relations, and strategic developments in East Asia. In addition to his duties in INSS, he also serves as an adjunct professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Dr. Phillip C. Saunders is Director of the INSS Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs. Dr. Saunders previously worked at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, where he served as Director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program from 1999-2003.

On Thursday, October 5, 2023, the China Power Project held its eighth annual conference.

We will be releasing each of these debates as their own podcast throughout the holiday season. We will be back with our regularly scheduled debates in Mid-January 2024. For this debate, the proposition is “China is more likely to blockade Taiwan than invade the island in the next ten years” Arguing for this proposition is Mr. Lonnie Henley, who is a senior fellow for the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, we are joined by David Logan and Phil Saunders, who've recently co-authored a new report titled Discerning the Drivers of China's Nuclear Force Development: Models, Indicators, and Data. They lay out the six models developed in the report and explain which models are the most compelling for explaining China's behavior. Dr. Logan dives into the expansion in size, structure, and capabilities of China's nuclear stockpile in the last 10 years but highlights the fact that there has been no official announcement on China's reasoning for this build-up. In the context of this expansion, Dr. Saunders points out that China is showing signs that its nuclear strategy could be shifting, and he notes that the prospects of strategic arms control have become more complicated. Dr. David Logan is an Assistant Professor of Security Studies at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

We've had the pleasure of exploring some incredible films over the last 60 something weeks. We got to explore Rosemary's Baby, a film that digs deep into society's treatment of women and the systematic delegitimizing of the state of motherhood. We watched The Hills Have Eyes, which while boring, did pose a series of interesting questions around morality and ethics in modern America. This week we watched From Dusk Till Dawn, a film about a load of vampires in a strip club. There's loads of naked women. There's loads of blood. There's absolutely zero message to be had here. This is pure entertainment. Mr Phil Saunders joins us to discuss why this is (quite rightly so) his favourite film of all time.

John and Craig breakdown the ideal attributes of the “screenwriter” character. Looking at the ratio of craft to charm, they debate which combinations lead to success in Hollywood.

If one is disillusioned by the One-State or Two-State models for peace, where should they turn? Are there creative new ways to frame what a solution could look like, that might satisfy both Israeli and Palestinian security needs and national aspirations? Our guest on the podcast is Phil Saunders. Phil is a peace activist who has been working with Path of Hope and Peace - طريق الأمل والسلام - דרך התקווה ושלום, a grassroots group dedicated to the fostering of positive, personal interaction and friendship between Israelis and Palestinians. Phil is also working with other peace activists on the political movement called Abrahamic Federalism. Phil and I discuss how he first got into peace activism and some of the peace work he has been doing in recent years. We also speak about the concept of Abrahamic Federalism and its advantages to the often proposed Two-State solution. We go into the differences between federation and confederation peace models, and how the vision that Phil and other activists are trying to develop pulls from all these different ideas in order to be properly suited for this diverse region. Lastly, we discuss the normalization agreements between Israel and some of her Arab neighbors, and how those peace agreements will affect this conflict. Please check out the Facebook page for Path of Hope and Peace here.You can learn more about the work that Phil is doing regarding Abrahamic Federalism here.

Our history segment reminisces about War Plan Orange and the importance of taking a long view of competition when faced with rising revisionist powers. In conversations with Oriana Mastro (Georgetown University) and Tai Ming Cheung (UC San Diego), we explore various causes and consequences of competition between the United States and China.  We also turn to new research by Phil Saunders and Julia Bowie in the Journal of Strategic Studies that examines the military side of Sino-US relations.
