Victoria Justice Hack
Saturday Nov 2 at 9:30am, to Sunday Nov 3 at 3:30pm | Student Lounge and Room 142, Fraser and Anne Murray Building
What is the Justice Hack?
This kind of hacking doesn’t involve any unauthorized intrusion into a computer or network – it simply means using technical knowledge to overcome a problem.
Founded in 2018, The Justice Hack combines two typically distinct groups of professionals. It brings together technologists and legal professionals to share knowledge and brainstorm ideas for improving access to justice in BC. The event also combines two distinct concepts: hackathons and A2J.
The Justice Hack recently held its second annual Vancouver event – the largest access-to-justice hackathon in BC. It attracted more than 60 hackers, lawyers and access-to-justice (A2J) enthusiasts who spent a weekend tackling some of the barriers that impede small businesses’ access to justice and legal services. If you missed the Vancouver hackathon it’s not too late – you can still take part in The Justice Hack Victoria on November 2-3, 2019!
How do we get involved?
Tickets and updates are available on Twitter (@thejusticehack) under the hashtags #JustHack and #A2J. You can help The Justice Hack be successful in Victoria by taking part, by joining the conversation on Twitter, by sharing this information, and by telling friends and colleagues about The Justice Hack’s work.
