DISCO and Amicus to Collaborate on Joint Session at Legal Geek 2026

October 12, 2026 - 01:50

DISCO and Amicus will co-present a TED Talk-style session at Legal Geek 2026, focusing on how technology can accelerate racial justice efforts within the legal system. The two organizations announced the collaboration as part of the upcoming conference, which brings together legal professionals, technologists, and advocates to explore innovation in law.

The session will examine the intersection of legal technology and social equity, highlighting practical ways that tools and data can support communities affected by systemic disparities. Both organizations have worked on initiatives aimed at reducing barriers to justice, and the joint presentation will combine their perspectives on what works and what still needs to change.

Legal Geek 2026 is expected to draw a large audience from law firms, legal aid groups, and technology companies. The format, modeled after TED Talks, is designed to be concise and accessible, allowing speakers to share ideas without dense jargon or lengthy panels.

The collaboration signals a growing interest in pairing legal tech with public interest missions. Rather than treating racial justice as a separate track, the session will argue that fairness should be built into the design and deployment of legal tools from the start. Attendees can expect concrete examples, lessons learned, and a call to action for the legal industry to move beyond statements and into measurable change.
