Professor Kevin P. Lee is the inaugural director of the Campbell Law Innovation Institute (CLII). He is also a tenured law professor and multidimensional legal scholar with more than 30 published papers in legal philosophy, professionalism and legal technology. He has advanced degrees in Christian ethics, religious studies and philosophy and religion. Lee is a leader in understanding how technology is changing the way we understand ourselves and the world. He envisions the Innovation Institute as a leader in studying emerging legal tech and how to assess its moral meaning for a rapidly evolving society. For example, he plans to explore the development of legal technology and its relation to AI ethics in the Institute’s initial courses, panels and CLE offerings. While Lee is optimistic about what a tech-driven legal system might look like, he cautions that legal technology won’t necessarily make for a better legal system or a better society. Lee thinks these unintended consequences could be very difficult for lawyers to anticipate, which leads to questions about the future of the legal profession.

He couples his long-standing interest in the phenomenology of moral experience with his interest in the emerging networked, globalized society. He is concerned with questions about how moral experience has contributed to understandings of law and politics in shaping the future. Lee is a frequent speaker on religious ethics, philosophy of economics, the legal profession, legal education and the social and political ethics of the international trade regime. Recent research includes theories of Constitutional interpretation. His scholarly works can be viewed here.
