What It Means to Be a Holistic Lawyer, with Cat Moon

Cat Moon

Caitlin “Cat” Moon is the Director of Innovation Design for the Program in Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt Law School, where she works with faculty and collaborators from other disciplines to design new PoLI curriculum offerings for JD students. Most recently she launched the PoLI Institute, which offers deep dives through immersion workshops into the tools, methods, and processes of innovation. Cat also works with others across the legal spectrum to design and implement strategic innovation and change management initiatives.

Cat’s primary goal is to bring the mindsets and tools of innovation—best practices, if you will—to the legal profession so that we can do better and be better.

A motto that Cat lives by is, “Replace fear with curiosity.”
