Abstract
'Law' and 'innovation' are sometimes seen as antithetical. This might stem from perceptions of the law as being stuck in precedent dating back hundreds of years, entrenched in inflexible and outdated legislation, and surrounded by anachronistic cultural trappings. The etymology of the word law itself references "something laid down or fixed". Many have long bemoaned the seeming incapacity of the law to keep up with innovation.
