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.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
• Understand the importance of equal access to justice and some of the common issues faced by both individuals with legal or justiciable problems and the organisations that assist them.
• Evaluate and compare practices and solutions from other jurisdictions or service industries to generate new ideas for improving access to legal services or justice in Singapore.
• Solve specific real-world access to justice problems through iterative design, prototyping and testing of digital applications in a collaborative team setting.
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.
