Sarah Kessler for the NYTimes writes in Dealbook about the rising demand from organizations across many domains for what they are calling “legal engineers.” These are trained professionals (not necessarily lawyers) who have both legal skills and knowledge of contemporary technology.

Good path for those in the burgeoning masters in legal studies programs opened in recent years at many law schools.
