Summary - Future of the Legal and Medical Professions Symposium

Law and medicine are navigating many of the same changes: new technologies, shifting markets, and an evolving policy landscape reshaping how each profession operates and whom it serves.

This full-day symposium brings together leaders, scholars, and practitioners from Stanford, peer institutions, and industry for a cross-disciplinary conversation about these shared disruptions. Together, we'll explore what law and medicine can learn from each other as both professions prepare for the decade ahead.
