Craig Newton

Cornell’s Legal Information Institute (LII) is a powerhouse of the legal tech community, having made the law easily and freely accessible online since 1992 (years before many lawyers even began using the internet). LII’s work is so popular it is literally the most linked-to web resource in the field of law. Helping to lead LII’s vision and projects for the last 6 years is former Naval Officer and IP litigator Craig Newton, himself once a student at Cornell Law, and former Editor-in-Chief of LII’s famous Supreme Court Bulletin. With the retirement of Co-Founder Tom Bruce this year, Craig will co-direct the LII’s next chapter with fellow Fastcase 50 honoree Sara Frug.
