JUSTECH
Founded in 2018, ‘JusTech’ is derived from the combination of ‘Justice’ and ‘Technology’ and stands as the country’s first technology-based society run by law students. It aims to promote legal technology amongst students in the law faculty, given the ever-growing importance of technology in the legal industry.
To realise this aim, our team has actively organised numerous events and workshops to expose students to the interplay between the legal industry and technology in collaboration with leading tech companies and prominent lawyers.
Our Objectives :
-
Raise student awareness on the latest technology and legal development in the field.
-
Make our club a hub for legal technology by connecting students, faculty, and other industry professionals to foster a true community.
-
Nurture the relationship of trust and support between UM JusTech and the companies that are willing to cooperate with us.
