Seasoned legal professional, Olga V. Mack, whose extensive career spans roles like a Fellow at CodeX, The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, a Generative AI Editor at law.MIT, and an award-winning general counsel, has provided yet another fitting analogy between the recurring ‘Groundhog Day’ phenomenon and the repetitive nature of depositions in the legal field.
With experience as an operations professional, startup advisor, public speaker, adjunct professor, and entrepreneur, Mack has contributed significantly to legal innovation, believing wholeheartedly that the introduction of technology to the field will only make the legal profession stronger, more resilient and more inclusive.
Mack’s thoughts on the future of law and her enthusiasm for technology in the legal landscape have been channelled into her authorship of several books. These include ‘Get on Board: Earning Your Ticket to a Corporate Board Seat’, ‘Fundamentals of Smart Contract Security’, and ‘Blockchain Value: Transforming Business Models, Society, and Communities’.
Mack is currently working on additional books with planned release dates in 2024: ‘Visual IQ for Lawyers’, ‘The Rise of Product Lawyers: An Analytical Framework to Systematically Advise Your Clients Throughout the Product Lifecycle’, and ‘Legal Operations in the Age of AI and Data’.
Her article ‘It’s Always Groundhog Day When It Comes To Depositions’ brings a fresh perspective, subtly underscoring the familiar and sometimes frustrating repetitions that legal professionals encounter in their daily work.
