Legal Tech Hackathon 2021

The #GLH2020 finals took place live via LinkedIn on April 17 and 18. With our new GLH technology platform, each team has been evaluated online and a public gallery of all projects is now available. In 2019, the LegalTech Hackathon debuted in Taiwan under the efforts of legal technology company Lawsnote with the aim of enabling the law to use the power of technology to produce tasks that previously could not be performed by humans. More than 300 participants registered for the first Taiwan LegalTech Hackathon. Since then, more than 80 projects have been pitched in the finals over the past three years. Now in its third year, the Taiwan LegalTech Hackathon has become the most iconic and largest legal technology event in Taiwan. This year`s LegalTech Hackathon became more ambitious in two ways: First, it added legal compliance issues that were not present in previous competitions. Second, authoritative organizations, Judge Yuan and Deloitte, participated in the hackathon as organizers this year. At a time when trade is being tested by the COVID-19 pandemic and a resurgence of protectionist sentiments, and when the WTO is facing crises in many of its core functions, the aim of the 2021 G2 conference was to open up new perspectives with bold ideas on the way forward for the WTO. If your city does not have a GLH site and you would like more information on how to act as an organizer or host for your city, please contact: info@globallegalhackathon.com From Friday 25 March to Sunday evening, the teams will develop new technological solutions to the problems of “legal affairs” and “access to justice” and compete to be selected as winners in their respective cities and qualify for the semi-finals. Global. to penetrate. The finalists will then be invited to the finals and gala of the Global Legal Hackathon (Covid regulations permit), which will take place in London later in 2022.

We created IdeaFlight to bridge the venture capital investment gap. IdeaFlight is a way for people from underrepresented groups to access the legal and business knowledge needed to present an idea to an investor. In its fourth year, #GLH2022 is expected to surpass previous years, with more than 100 host cities and 10,000 participants from around the world harnessing the creative energy of a legal industry that is experiencing accelerated innovation due to the pandemic. Lawsnote is a firm that aims to maximize the efficiency of legal services by deeply integrating technology into legal practice. More than 60% of avocados in Taiwan use Lawsnote products. Their products include the legal document search engine, the Lawsnote compliance system, the contract review automation system, and the Find Lawyer Marketplace platform. The growing trend and importance of legal technology applications was illustrated by comments from disciplinary judges Yeh, Li-Hsia and Max Lin, Managing Partner of Risk Advisory and RA Cyber Leader at Deloitte. As a representative of Taiwan`s Judge Yuan, Judge Yeh Li-Hsia said, “We have always known that the masters of programming are present in society.

By organizing this event, we hope to invite experts among the people to use their skills to solve some of the problems facing judicial practice. Max Lin said: “RegTech is receiving increasing international attention and through this event we hope to find more local applications for compliance technologies available for Deloitte`s RegTech universe to expand its global reach.” The SMU LIT Hackathon is an annual 3D2N hackathon organized by the Legal Innovation and Technology Club (LIT) of Singapore Management University (SMU). During this event, our law firm partners will provide a range of questions covering various topics such as research automation, legal analysis and access to justice. Participating teams select a single problem description from the deployed teams and create a prototype solution. Participants will also have the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, academics and other legaltech stakeholders for more inspiration and advice for their submissions. We will offer cash prizes worth more than $10,000, for several prize categories, in addition to the first 3! All competitors and presenters will also receive SMU LIT products and event t-shirts!

We challenged teams of students (2-4 per team) from around the world to work together and, in just 72 hours, develop a well-thought-out and legally sound proposal for an outcome at the WTO that meaningfully addresses a shared issue at the launch of the G2 Legal Hackathon on 9 April 2021.

The winning team`s proposals can be found here. 2021 Taiwan LegalTech & Compliance Hackathon First Place: Team Cat Search (MAO SOU HE HO FA HSI) won the largest prize of $3,300. It should be noted that this year, two teams of high school students participated in the competition. Among them, “Judgment Search Optimization” by the KHSH Bear team of Kaohsiung High School (HSIUNG CHUNG HSIUNG CHUNG HSIUNG HSIUNG) was favored by the Judicial Yuan of Taiwan and won the Special Prize of the Judicial Yuan. “Frankly, the barrier to entry to the Legal Tech Contest is quite high. The team needs to combine the two professional fields of law and technology, so I was very impressed to see high school students compete and even win awards,” said Barry Kuo, founder of Lawsnote. Kuo continued, “Not only are we bringing lawyers and technologists together to carry out work, but we also hope that this work will not only be contributions to competition, but also business opportunities. Therefore, we invite more industry partners to join us in providing more favorable commercialization opportunities to facilitate the advancement of legal technology in Taiwan.

Reliable, consistent and conversational access to legal information by voice Kearra Markowich, Executive Director of the Global Legal Hackathon, said: “The global pandemic has forced the legal industry to innovate and grow rapidly, and the Global Legal Hackathon was no exception. We are very proud of our new technology platform, designed specifically for this global event, which allows more innovators and more teams from around the world to attend #GLH2022, whether they attend in person or virtually. One of the key enhancements to GLH 2022 is a new online technology platform that enables and supports face-to-face and virtual participation. It is important to consider the different regulations and requirements of each country, which may still limit face-to-face gatherings. Another novelty for #GLH2022 is an option for participants to register and log in with a blockchain-based GLH private key. This allows participants to store their credentials with maximum privacy and security. Recognize innovations in legal technology to work on groundbreaking and groundbreaking projects and initiatives.
