My manuscript-in-progress is a history of how lawyers began using databases for their work. In the book, I tell the story of the people who developed LexisNexis, one of the most popular platform for legal research, and how they transformed legal practice.
Other research projects I'm currently pursuing are: (1) a history of the digitization of Jewish responsa in 1960s Israel, (2) a history of using technology for law enforcement in the United States, and (3) how law students interact with contemporary information technology (including AI).
