Sheffield Legal HackersSheffield Legal Hackers is your local chapter of the global Legal Hackers movement.
We bring together lawyers, coders, students, teachers, entrepreneurs, researchers,
policymakers, designers, technologists, academics, social scientists anyone who is interested to explore and develop creative solutions to issues at the intersection of law and technology.
Founded in 2018, we are a volunteer-run, chapter-based community that is free to join and open to all.
Through local events, hackathons, and workshops taking place approximately once a month, Sheffield Legal Hackers spot issues and opportunities where technology can improve and inform the practice of law and where law, legal practice, and policy can adapt to rapidly changing technology.
The Legal Hackers movement began in 2012 in Brooklyn, New York. Since then, the movement has grown quickly, from a second chapter in Washington, D.C. started by original New York Legal Hackers members, to new chapters spreading across the United States and then the world, to international summits that bring global chapter organizers together to discuss law, technology, and community building. Today, Legal Hackers chapters exist in over 150 cities on six continents, with new chapters launching all the time.
