Future of the Legal and Medical Professions Symposium: Technology, Trust and Transformation
Law and medicine face many of the same challenges. How will AI reshape expert work, and how should institutions adapt? How can the professions make essential services more accessible and affordable? And how can law and medicine maintain public trust in an era of rapid change? 

On October 26, Stanford Law School and Stanford School of Medicine are bringing together leaders and thinkers from both fields for a full-day symposium that explores these questions and what the sister professions can learn from one another.
