eCourts 2022 Featured Speaker: Judge Scott Schlegel

Judge Scott Schlegel of Louisiana will open the second day of eCourts with a presentation focused on how he uses off-the-shelf software to revolutionize the justice system with his talk, “Using Low/No-Code Tech to Improve Workflows.”

“It’s absurd how many continuances are filed just because nobody called opposing counsel to make sure it was okay with her calendar,” says Judge Schlegel. Be prepared for Judge Schlegel to open your eyes to an entirely new way of doing business. Think it’s too complicated? Judge Schlegel disagrees. His mantra: pick a product and roll with it. “Nothing I’m doing is mind-blowing from a technological standpoint,” says the judge. “We can change the whole justice system for under $1,000 a year in any jurisdiction in the entire country.”

Judge Schlegel is a technology pioneer in Louisiana state courts and received the National Center for State Courts’ 2021 William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence, one of the highest judicial honors in the country. He was also featured on the cover of the ABA Journal after being named a 2021 Legal Rebel. Judge Schlegel graduated with honors from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he served as the President of the Student Bar Association.
