The Motivation
Why a hackathon?
Hackathons are intense, collaborative events where participants from diverse backgrounds create software solutions within a short timeframe to compete for prizes. These events typically occur in person and are led by industry experts. The focused environment enables participants to rapidly develop proofs of concept or working prototypes of potentially marketable solutions. The blend of student innovation and cutting-edge technology knowledge, augmented by industry experience, pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
Why LLM x Law?
The legal sector has been traditionally slow in adopting technology due to language barriers, complex legal data, and the high stakes of the industry.
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs), however, is beginning to bridge the language barriers and spark significant excitement in the sector.
