Season 13, Episode 3: Legal Tech Disruptors, New Minds Innovating for Good (ft. Kara Peterson)

In this episode of Notes to My (Legal) Self®, host Olga V. Mack sits down with Kara Peterson, a marketing communications leader and co-founder of descrybe.ai, a legal tech startup democratizing access to legal information through AI.

Kara’s story is as inspiring as it is unexpected. Coming from a background in public health and social justice, she never imagined she’d one day help build a legal AI company, let alone one that has summarized millions of judicial opinions across the U.S. for free.

Together, Olga and Kara explore:

• How AI can bridge the justice gap by making law more understandable and accessible

• Why passion for justice isn’t limited to lawyers

• The power of cross-disciplinary collaboration (and yes, the advantages of “marrying an engineer”)

• What legal tech can learn from public health about tackling systemic inequities

If you’ve ever wondered how innovation, empathy, and a touch of humor can reshape access to justice, this conversation will leave you both informed and inspired.
