Here is a description of the event:

[...] a Hands-On-Law weekend, where we build legal tools for people to get legal tasks done.

Our first session will focus on challenges of immigration — in particular of foreign students in the US, on F1 & J1 visas. [...]

We are looking for participants who want to work in a collaborative environment — on design, development, and legal content — to get robust prototypes built in a quick sprint. You don’t have to be an expert — just willing to work & interested in building new products to solve people’s problems. [...]

For more information, please see the event’s Website.
