Legal Citation Hackathon: September 13, 2014, Washington, DC

Legal Citation Hackathon is scheduled to be held 13 September 2014 at Fastcase, in Washington, DC.

The event is organized by DC Legal Hackers.

Here is a description of the event, from the event’s Website:

[...] The hackathon will present a unique problem (here: Legal Citation) for legal hackers to solve, with topics ranging from current policy debates to the role of technology in legal practice and policymaking. During the legal hackathon, the teams will work together on a tech- or policy-based solution to the issue presented. Although you don’t have to be a coder to participate, we strongly encourage non-tech participants to work together with coders on their “legal hacks.”

What will be “hacked” on?

Improving citation parsers (such as http://ift.tt/1s9anjO)

Building applications that use the parsers (such as http://ift.tt/1s9aprO)

Anything else! If you’re generally interested in legal hacking, but not in legal citations, please attend! We’re happy to facilitate collaboration between lawyers and coders.
