Manchester, United Kingdom. <\/b>It is only right that the legal industry continues to adopt practices from other sectors to innovate. A great example is the increasing use of <\/span>hackathons,<\/span><\/i> which were born from within the tech industry. Simply put, hackathons are events or competitions in which multidisciplinary teams come together to rapidly create prototype solutions, usually involving technology, to problems facing a given business or organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>first <\/span>legal <\/span>hackathon<\/span><\/a> appears to have been organised by Brooklyn Law School\u2019s Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy Clinic (BLIP) back in 2012. More recently, the <\/span>Global Legal Hackathon<\/span><\/a> rolled out its second edition in more than 45 cities and 5,000 participants around the world. I was lucky enough to take a shot at organising the Manchester node of the competition and it was a fantastic experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

The term hackathon isn\u2019t as widespread as one might think, and explaining it in a succinct way is a challenge. As the event approached I sensed many people didn\u2019t quite understand what they\u2019d signed up for. But what really threw me off, was when one of the coders at the event questioned whether we were going to break in to a secure network or system, as an actual <\/span>hacker <\/span><\/i>might do! This just goes to show it\u2019s crucial to be clear about what the event is at the very outset. <\/span>Some have adopted other terms for added clarity, such as \u201cideathon\u201d to avoid any negative connotation of the word \u201chack\u201d. Still, even though there isn’t any hacking involved in the traditional sense of the word, \u201chackathon\u201d certainly sounds cooler, doesn’t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

When creating a hackathon<\/a>, an organiser can determine how wide it wants the spectrum of projects to be. For instance, there can be a specific problem stated for the hackathon to aim to solve and direct teams towards a somewhat defined solution (i.e. create a new communications platform for lawyers). On the other hand, it can determine a theme and ask teams to think of solutions to problems related to that theme (i.e. create solutions that advance access to justice). The former would generate different versions of a solution to the same problem while the latter would yield solutions to a range of different problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Narrowing the scope for ideas saves time both for teams \u2013 who can focus on designing the solution rather coming up with an idea \u2013 and the organiser, who can more easily filter rough ideas and guide teams towards a workable project. The downside is you sacrifice creativity and diversity of ideas. Moreover, participants will probably be more motivated if they get to work on an idea that they came up with from scratch. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"building-legal<\/p>\n

At the Manchester chapter of the 2019 Global Legal Hackathon, we asked participants to come up with their own related themes to \u2018improving the business of law<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018facilitating access to justice<\/strong>\u2019. We ran a quick creativity session and crossed our fingers before letting individuals pitch their ideas. When we had twice as many ideas as we had teams, we knew we\u2019d created the right environment and that the participants were engaged. <\/span><\/p>\n

The cornerstone of a successful hackathon is striking a good mix of backgrounds, experience, and skill sets. Indeed, the organiser should make sure all teams have folks who can code, but in a themed hackathon (as is one about law) you also need people who have subject matter expertise to be involved in designing the tool, especially to make sure it tries to solve an <\/span>actual <\/span><\/i>problem. It also doesn\u2019t hurt having a business graduate\/professional on board to get the team thinking about product-market fit and, of course, to bust-out their PowerPoint skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a diverse crowd will not only yield better-performing teams, but will also enhance the overall experience for participants, who will collectively enjoy sharing and engaging with other interesting individuals. The networking potential is another big draw for participants to join; a friend of mine was grateful he signed up for our hackathon because he wouldn\u2019t have otherwise met the two computer scientists who joined him in starting a new venture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the common critiques of the hackathon is that the format doesn\u2019t incorporate following up with projects. Most likely, if left entirely up to the teams, they will not pursue the projects further. For me, while the best use of hackathons is as tools to generate viable propositions to real problems, it is also fine if they just take the form of fun events of collaboration and creation without considering the feasibility of their output. That said, if an organiser is serious about helping teams bring their idea to life, it should be transparent about it and have the resources and partnerships in place to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

As hackathons become widespread in the legal industry, I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see sound business ideas bloom from them. Hopefully we\u2019ll also see more projects that have a far-reaching impact for those who lack access to basic legal services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
