Terraform Series
Law's Next Frontier: One Visionary Anthology a Year
A premium anthology imprint for future-focused attorneys, technologists, and reformers. Built for lawyers shaping what comes next.
Every year, the Terraform Series unites 10–12 of the most forward-thinking lawyers, legal scholars, and reform advocates to take on a single urgent question about the future of law. The result is not a blog post, a webinar, or a disposable PDF — it’s a hardcover, e-book, and softcover artifact designed to stand the test of time, earn media attention, and cement each contributor as a trusted authority.
2026 Flagship Theme
AI Privacy Protections – Defending Rights in the Age of Intelligent Machines.
In 2026, Terraform will tackle one of the defining legal challenges of our generation: How do we protect personal privacy in a world dominated by artificial intelligence?
From biometric surveillance to predictive policing, from facial recognition in public spaces to AI systems making hiring and firing decisions — the law is being tested in real time. Our contributors will bring the cases, principles, and personal stories that will define how the public, policymakers, and the courts respond.

Our Annual, Themed Anthology
We seek out 10-12 contributors to a specific topic to create an annual Anthology that defines the present, outlines the future, and creates lasting impact. In 2026 our theme is AI Privacy Protections – Defending Rights in the Age of Intelligent Machines
Private Cohort Projects — Your Vision, Your Team
Have your own group of 10–12 lawyers with a vision for the future of law? Terraform will create a standalone edition on your theme, with all the same production, design, and PR muscle as the flagship. Perfect for professional associations, reform initiatives, non-profits, or thought leadership alliances.
Why Terraform Beats Disposable Directories
Most “legal recognition” products lack heart, brain, or soul.
Terraform is different:
Permanent artifact — a professionally bound e-book, softcover, and hardcover book, archived in libraries, kept on shelves
Narrative authority — your contribution is a substantive chapter, not a line in a list, and our narrative profile and interview demonstrate the our Authority Triad, answering: who you are, what you know, and your professional philosophy.
National reach — tied to a coordinated PR and media push
Prestige positioning — you stand beside respected voices, not random names in a paywall
