Saveetha School of Law is organising the Legathon competition for the judicial system to meet the technology sector on June 17, 2022.
About the College
Saveetha School of Law was established in 2009 with the vision of imparting top-quality legal education to its students.
About Legathon
In the 21st century, society’s needs are different, and people want their utilities and services at their fingertips or on their tables. So as students, professionals, educators etc., we can’t just put up hopes over the prevailing systems and mechanisms – modern problems need modern solutions.
If we want a modern answer to modern problems now or in the future, we’ll need preventative measures and mechanisms, as well as speedier justice for crime victims. To make this vision a reality, society must prepare for the digital age’s unknowns.
Therefore, Saveetha Law School is hosting the Legathon, a legal tech competition for the judicial system to meet the technology sector and ease the problems that are already existing in the legal field and to come up with new ideas to innovate the legal field.
The Saveetha Law School, Chennai is launching the Legathon as a way to encourage Students, IT Professionals, Application Developers etc., to use their talents and imaginations to come up with creative solutions to some of the Industry’s most complicated and unmet needs.
The college is looking for creative solutions to today’s legal issues, from all the sectors of the country as mentioned above.
