Corporate Governance, AI and Legal Education, Law and Corporate Leadership

Hosted by Alex Su.

This episode of Under Review explores the forces reshaping the legal profession through three dynamic segments. First, leading corporate law scholars Robert Bartlett, of Stanford Law School, and Eric Talley, of Columbia Law School, unpack Delaware’s dominance in corporate law and the ripple effects of Senate Bill 21. Viewers will learn how recent legal changes impact corporate advising, stakeholder protections, and national governance trends.

In the second segment, Stanford Law Professor Lisa Larrimore Ouellette addresses the growing role of AI in legal education. Her cutting-edge research on whether AI can assist or replace traditional office hours demonstrates the transformative potential—and limitations—of large language models like GPT and Claude in legal learning and research.

Finally, Kristin Sverchek, former General Counsel and President of Lyft, shares her journey and some lessons learned in building trust, managing risk, and transitioning into high-impact leadership roles. This segment highlights actionable strategies for legal professionals seeking to expand their influence in corporate settings, particularly in the boardroom.
