In this course, students will be introduced to topics on "equal access to justice" and how digital technology can assist to bridge the gap for those who lack access to the resources that could help meet their legal needs.
Depending on the type of application chosen for the project work, students will learn one or more of the following areas:
- Document assembly and expert systems;
- Chatbots;
- Machine learning and natural language processing;
- Data analysis and visualisation;
- Cloud computing services;
- Search and information retrieval.
Students designed and built a digital prototype where it can enhance access to justice for members of the public who are seeking legal help, and also to track the number of pro bono hours put in by any lawyers who participated in providing their services.
