Tech For Justice Hackathon +
The InternetBar.Org (IBO) will host a hackathon in Austin, Texas, on February 21-22. Holistic Solutions, Inc. (HSI) is one of the sponsors. Here’s the description of the event posted by IBO:
Tech for Justice is a concept developed by the Internet Bar Organization that emphasizes the importance and necessity of using technology to address our most pressing concerns related to access to justice. Following the success of our initial Tech for Justice hackathon in San Francisco, the Tech for Justice Austin Hackathon will be the initial implementation of our + model. This legal hackathon will gather programmers, lawyers, technologists, UI& UE designers, public and private sector organizations and government agencies to tackle how to allow EVERYONE to avail themselves of our justice system, or to find methods of achieving informal justice. With buy-in and support from leadership of the Texas state legal system, the hackathon will put shoulder-to-shoulder those working on the front lines of access to justice for the poor and the powerless with young innovators, programmers and entrepreneurs.
When: Feb. 21 – 22, 2015 – 9AM – 8PM
Location: Capital Factory, 701 Brazos Street, Austin, TX 78701
Partners: TX Supreme Court, TX Judicial Council, TX Office of Court Administration, Texas Legal Services Center, Legal Services Corporation, National Center for Technology and Dispute Resolution, Internet Bar Organization.
