SMU LIT Hackathon 2024

The Singapore Management University's (SMU) Legal Innovation and Technology (LIT) Hackathon is back! This is an annual hackathon organised by SMU LIT. Thiis year, it is taking place on 7th, 8th and 10th August. This is the largest inter-varsity, 3-day hackathon held in Singapore, where students from all Institutes of Higher Learning in Singapore can compete to create legal technological solutions. Sign up as a group of (3-7) or register individually with other like-minded students to take on the problem statement together!

​

This year’s hackathon introduces a new policy component. Apart from creating a legal-tech solution, teams are also required to come up with a policy recommendation to address their chosen problem statement. Such problems tend to be complex in nature, requiring a mix of technological and policy solutions to address effectively. We hope that through this hackathon, participants would have a greater appreciation of this complementary nature between law and technology.

​

Over the course of the hackathon, participants will also have the opportunity to attend workshops and panel discussions hosted by our partners and guest speakers. On 10 August, teams will be presenting their proposed solution and policy to a panel of judges

We will be awarding over $8000 worth of cash prizes, for multiple prize categories apart from just the top 3! Participants will also receive SMU LIT merchandise* and event t-shirts!​​
