The SMU Legal Innovation and Technology (LIT) Hackathon is Singapore’s largest inter-varsity legal-tech competition, bringing together students from all Institutes of Higher Learning for a 2-day challenge to tackle pressing legal issues with innovative solutions.

Held on 5-6 Sept, this annual event encourages participants to merge technology and policy by crafting both a digital solution and a policy recommendation for their chosen problem statement.

Additionally, this year's finals will be held on 9 Sept at TechLaw.Fest, where the top 3 teams will present their solution in front of our panel of judges. 

Beyond the competition, participants will engage in enriching workshops and panel discussions led by industry partners and guest speakers.

Whether you’re joining solo or as a team, the LIT Hackathon offers a unique platform to explore the powerful synergy between law and technology.

Apart from creating a legal-tech solution, teams are also required to come up with a policy recommendation to address their chosen problem statement. Such problems tend to be complex in nature, requiring a mix of technological and policy solutions to address effectively.

We hope that through this hackathon, participants would have a greater appreciation of this complementary nature between law and technology.
