The Legal Forecast and the Department of Justice and Attorney-General (DJAG) are joining forces to bring you the first event of its kind: Hackcess to Justice.
Hackcess to Justice is the closing event of Law Week, a hackathon where talented tertiary students and early career legal professionals passionate about law and technology will design and ultimately pitch an innovative solution to neighbourhood disputes before a panel of esteemed judges.
In the first event of its kind, Hackcess to Justice will bring fresh, innovative minds together to formulate ways to improve and facilitate access to justice in our community. This year’s issue is neighbourhood disputes and how they can be prevented and resolved at an early stage.
There will be a myriad of exciting prizes yet to be announced; among them is the opportunity to work with DJAG to develop and deliver the winning concept!
Where: Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts
When: 18-20 May 2018
Who can participate: Tertiary students from all disciplines including law and technology and early-career legal professionals
