Episode 146: Tom Martin - American Legal Technology Awards Co-Founder

The American Legal Technology Awards are coming up, and co-founder Tom Martin shares the details. See you at Suffolk University Law School on October 25, 2026!

When: Sunday, October 25, 2026

Where: Suffolk University Law School (Boston, MA)

Pricing: $150 - Early Bird Discount / $250 - Standard

Tom Martin, CEO of LawDroid, adjunct professor at Suffolk University Law School, and co-founder of the American Legal Technology Awards, talks to Nick and Hana about the seventh annual awards ceremony happening this October in Boston. Highlighting what makes our industry so great, we finally get the origin story of the awards show we all know and love!

A nomination for the British Legal Technology Awards in London inspired the American Legal Technology Awards, because the US legal tech community also deserves recognition. The collaboration that started with Tom, Patrick Palace, and Cat Moon grew into what many now call “Law Prom.” This black-tie event creates a virtuous cycle of recognizing innovators who do good, real, and purposeful work that inspires others to do the same. Tom shares how nominees are chosen, the judging process, and the moments that make the event unforgettable.

And last but not least, Tom thanks sponsors such as Clio, ARAG Legal Insurance, ADM, and Practising Law Institute for their support of the American Legal Technology Awards.

For more details, heartfelt memories, and potential category ideas for the future (perhaps an “Up-and-Comer” or “Newbie” award??), tune in to this episode. And buy your ticket while the Early Bird Discount is still available!
