Hackathon Problem Statement
In line with our progress into a new age of Legal Technology, the big theme for this year's Hackathon is "The Big Leap Forward". We have 3 sub-themes for you to choose from. There will be specific problem statements for each theme released closer to the date of the Hackathon.
​
(a) Access to Justice
While remote court hearings and legal clinics are becoming part of the norm, the fact remains that legal aid continues to be inaccessible for some. How can technology ensure that justice is accessible?
(b) Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
As our lives become more digital and start shifting into the meta-verse, more problems relating to data privacy and cybersecurity will arise. How can we best protect ourselves?
(c) Efficiency of Work Processes
538 Singapore lawyers quit in 2021, a five-year high. One of the reasons cited were the long hours. How can technology improve work processes for the lawyer and firm?

Schedule
Pre-Hackathon Workshops
Pre-hackathon workshops will be held online through Zoom on 21 June 2022 from 7PM to 9:30PM and on 23 June 2022 from 7PM to 8:30PM. The workshops will be conducted by established LegalTech platforms in Singapore which include INTELLLEX, lupl and tessaract.io.
​
During the workshop, participants will be introduced to these pioneering LegalTech solutions, have a chance to try these platforms first hand and participate in a Q&A session with the LegalTech professionals. As participants will have the opportunity to use some of these LegalTech platforms to create their own solutions during the hackathon itself, this would be a valuable opportunity for participants.
Participants will also receive an e-certificate upon participation.
