Abstract

Let me start with a story. It was almost thirty years ago that I graduated from Harvard Law School and joined my first law firm. I distinctly remember my first assignment, which was to draft a credit agreement. Despite my education, I had no clue how to perform the assignment. I had to do it the same way as everyone else, which was to go around the corridors, bang on some doors, get some examples, sit down and start to read them. I have no doubt that my first few attempts and, in all likelihood, years' worth of drafts, were sub-standard. This is what, in part, motivated me to focus my career on technology and law.
