Law Mining Hackathon

OKCon, Geneva, September 16-19, 2013

The next hackdays will focus on the subject of building bridges between the world of legal information and new open data apps, needed by both lawyers and lawmakers, as well as all citizens under the law. These apps might aggregate and sort through information, reduce repetitive work, make understanding and working with the law more accessible for everyone. Read more…

We are forming an expert panel from people who have submitted challenges on the web site. These will be posted here as they get formalized.

There is one Main Room (“MR”) for the Monday kickoff, and a HackSpace (“HS”, outside of the MR at the same venue), where groups will have table space to work during the week.

On Thursday we will move to the university campus Uni Batelle (“UB”, exact room TBC) for the final day of hacking and presentation.
