About this event

MISSION: Develop technology to improve legal justice processes for those who need critical help more efficiently and for those who aim to provide support.

Tech for Justice Legal Justice Hackathon will bring together Nonprofit Advocates, Legal Aid Organizations, Private Lawyers, Technologists, Students, Educators, Counselors, Activists, Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Public Housing Officials, State and City Representatives, Judges, and more, to come up with innovative and transparent solutions, supporting technologies, and plans for implementation with initiative collaborators and partners.

WHO YOU ARE HELPING

  • Community Members: Low-income individuals who need legal support and other resource help for problems such as domestic violence, consumer debt, evictions, foreclosures and access to government benefits.

  • Legal Aid offices that aim to provide free legal help, but are overburdened by expensive and time consuming grant reporting processes.

  • Legal Advocates who aim to find new ways to support these communities.

To register, post a project idea/read our problem set, and to join the conversation visit http://www.techforjustice.org/legal-justice-hackathon/
