I ran a search and it looks like there hasn&#x27;t been much HN discussion of legal tech since 2015 (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10765654" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10765654</a>), but it seems like there has been a big push of funding into the space. But it&#x27;s still way shy of FinTech funding, for example. I&#x27;m curious where this community thinks things might be heading given the ~4 years since the last discussion has seen such a large funding increase<p>Also: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abovethelaw.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;09&#x2F;at-1-1-billion-its-already-a-record-year-for-legal-tech-investment&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;abovethelaw.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;09&#x2F;at-1-1-billion-its-already-a...</a> (arguing &quot;Will this investment trend continue?
