The Center for Law, Science and Innovation is an established leader in addressing the extraordinary legal and regulatory questions triggered by rapid developments in science and technology. ASU Law was the first in the country to create a center focused on the topics that now make headlines every day.
LSI’s mission is to use law to enable innovation for the betterment of society. By facilitating interdisciplinary efforts among students, faculty, professionals, policy-makers, and industries, the center tackles the shared challenges and themes of emerging technology governance, such as:
- Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies
- Artificial Intelligence and the Law
- Bioethics
- International Coordination
- Privacy and Security
- Pacing Law with Science
- Big Data, Analytics, and the Internet of Things
- Human Enhancement
- Soft Law / Standards
- Technology and Access to Justice
- Human Relationships and Technology
- Technological Unemployment
- Precautionary Principle
- Sustainable Technology Development
- Regulation and Reimbursement
The LSI network
LSI was built on, and continues to engage, a robust network of academics, policy-makers, professionals, and industry. Students and alumni fellows play a critical role in LSI projects, and have opportunities to learn from and work with interdisciplinary experts in their area of interest.

To help bridge the gap between rapidly advancing technologies and the laws, regulations, and policies that govern them, the center engages a robust network of academics, policy-makers, professionals, and industry leaders through our volunteer Research Fellows Program. Center Research Fellows contribute in a variety of ways to the work of the Center. A few examples include collaborating on substantive research, helping to organize Center events, and helping our students with networking and professional opportunities. Each Research Fellow’s contribution is valuable and unique, based on individual interests and resources, and each serves for a renewable term of two years.
