Hack the Law Cambridge

Hack the Law is an initiative of King’s Entrepreneurship Lab at the University of Cambridge. The initiative began with 2024 LLM x Law Hackathon, which was the first expansion of well-established initiative run by CodeX,  the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics.

Hackathons are fast-paced, high-energy events where diverse participants collaborate to develop software solutions within a limited timeframe, often competing for prizes. In this focused environment, teams experiment and solve problems rapidly, developing prototypes that challenge conventional approaches and expand technological boundaries. Our hackathon primarily targets interdisciplinary students because their diversity, unconventional thinking and exposure to cutting-edge technologies brings fresh perspectives to longstanding problems in the legal industry. We believe that by blending student creativity with modern technology and industry expertise, hackathons can lead to breakthrough innovations that transform both the legal market and society at large.

Join an interdisciplinary team to develop LLM-powered solution (using tools unlocked by our tech partners) for a real-world legal problems provided by our law partners. Present your solution for a chance to win up to £10,000 and join our Venture Programme.

The Hackathon is open to students at all levels (undergraduate, master’s, PhD) and from any discipline. You can participate in both the hackathon and research pitch competition.
