Under current business law, it is already possible to give legal personhood, or a very close surrogate of it, to software systems of any kind (from a simple automated escrow agent to a more hypothetical, truly smart artificial intelligence). This means that, for example, robots could enter into contracts, serve as legal agents, or own property. Ultimately, entire companies could actually be run by non-human agents. This study argues that this is not as scary as it might sound at first. Legal theorist and noted software developer Shawn Bayern argues that autonomous or zero-person organizations offer an opportunity for useful new types of interactions between software and the law. This creative contribution to the theory and practice of law and technology explores the social and political aspects of these new organizational structures and their implications for legal theory.

This Saturday (PLEASE NOTE WE START EARLIER - 10AM LONDON) we explore how to build transcultural empathy for system change. Law is primarily negotiated through national legal systems - and yet - some of our most pressing 21st century problems are global in nature. Is this a job only for the UN or national policymakers? Or can professionals, corporations and civil society find ways to work together to address transnational legal system change issues? If we can, what are the new skills we need to develop to be able to embrace the 'other'? Join us this Saturday as we explore this with Dr. Julien Leyre.

"Neoliberalism is associated with a demand for deregulation, austerity, and an attempt to assimilate government to something more like a market—but it never was as simple as a demand for “free markets.” Rather, it was a demand to protect the market from democratic demands for redistribution."

If we are to emerge from this era of crisis, we need legal thinking that operates on fundamentally different presumptions.

Join us tomorrow for our second October Masterclass 'Inspiration for Uncertain Times'. The work of system change can be daunting and at times soul crushing. It requires creativity, resilience and increased personal capacity to keep showing up where outcomes are unclear, where even if you know the outcome there is little agreement on how to get there and after failures to achieve outcomes.

In this unique masterclass facilitated by Alyssa Rostant, Griot you will learn the art, science and practice of breath-work as an internal self-governance mechanism for increased power and capacity. Learn More about the class at the link below and REGISTER FOR FREE.

Breathing is a fundamental, pervasive, automatic function of the human body. Our lives are bracketed between two breaths. Not breathing is an emergency! In this class we will pay attention to our breathing. This is an interactive class. I’m uncertain if I will use any slides. I’ll create a scrip...

Co-Creating Equitable Futures - A Masterclass by Dr. Lesley-Ann Noel - https://mailchi.mp/a361b023e535/interconnected-law-5569942

20/09/2021

Our October Masterclass continues to explore the new skills required for co-creating system change. In this interactive class participants will learn how to weave together concepts around co-creation, equity, and critical utopias, to design better futures for all. The focus will be on race, gender, and disability, but the aim of the workshop is to help the participant understand and learn to recognize any form of exclusion and to use co-design to strive for any form of equity.

Dr. Lesley Ann Noel, Assoc. Prof, North Carolina State University Lesley-Ann practices design through emancipatory, critical and anti-hegemonic lenses, focusing on equity, social justice and the experiences of people who are often excluded from design research. Dr. Noel practices primarily in the area of social innovation, education, and public health and is co-Chair of the Pluriversal Design Special Interest Group of the Design Research Society. Before joining North Carolina State University, Dr. Noel was the Associate Director of Design Thinking for Social Impact at Tulane University, and she was a lecturer at Stanford University and the University of the West Indies.

This Masterclass is FREE. Register today to ensure your space.

Sometimes people can be timid about the change that they imagine is possible. They’ll say people aren’t ready for something, or it’s too hard to get something to change. They can often list why something is impossible. Pushing people’s imagination to the ‘far-out’ future helps them to th...
