01What it does

What Institute for the Future of Law Practice Inc does

Mission

The Institute is organized and operated exclusively to educate law students and mid-career professionals on advanced and emerging methods of law practice, often with an emphasis on data, process, and technology including through the facilitation of internships and field placement of law students with participating legal employers who want a workforce with advance training not currently offered in law schools.

As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.

Program

Online certification: revised our existing curriculum & optimized for online asynchronous delivery. Now available to all legal professionals (previously, was only available to a select number of law students)

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

How it's funded, over time
