The American Bar Association Is a Club, a Classroom and a Constitution for Lawyers
America’s largest voluntary legal network does more than convene lawyers. It trains them, connects them, helps set their ethical baseline and quietly builds parts of the justice system’s operating manual.
Blueshoe
Blueshoe is an AI-native law firm that pairs licensed attorneys with proprietary legal reasoning software to make quality legal help affordable and always-on for individuals and small businesses. Founded in 2025 by Harvard Law graduate Casey O'Grady and MIT-trained engineer Kai Yee Wan, the Y Combinator-backed company started as a legal-reasoning research platform piloted at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia law schools, then extended into a full-stack firm covering employment, housing, consumer, personal injury, and product-liability matters without billable hours.
Mighty
Mighty is a New York technology company using AI to help accident victims value and settle their personal injury claims without necessarily hiring a lawyer. Founded in 2015 by attorney-entrepreneur Joshua Schwadron, the company spent years building software and capital tools for the litigation-finance industry before pivoting to a free, direct-to-consumer AI platform that collects accident records, produces a 'Live Estimate' of a claim's value, and negotiates settlements with insurers - offering claimants a 'third option' between surrendering a third of their payout to a lawyer or negotiating alone.
