The “Open-Source Software and Research” programme centres around the development and dissemination of freely accessible legal tools and resources. This initiative involves creating open-source software tailored to the UK legal context, fostering collaboration and innovation within the legal tech community. The program aims to democratise access to legal technology, enabling practitioners, researchers, and the public to benefit from shared resources. Through collaborative research and development, the program supports the growth of an open and accessible legal tech ecosystem, promoting transparency and adaptability in legal practices across the UK.
