A while ago, I tweeted regarding the need for meetings and meetups to go over legal technology and justice advancement in Nigeria. My goal was to stimulate more conversations concerning leveraging innovation to press the frontiers of legal access and justice advancement.
Today, I am delighted to reveal that our vision is coming true with the launch of LegalTech.Fest 1.0: PAST THE COURT– EXPANDING ACCESSIBILITY TO JUSTICE WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY!
As modern technology remains to advance, it’s changing every market, including the generally traditional legal market. While we have actually seen and went to numerous technology meetings and legal representatives advising tech firms, there continues to be a substantial space in exactly how technology is being leveraged to create options within the lawful sector itself. The lawful area has been slow-moving to embrace technological developments, frequently because of safety and security, custom, and complexity worries. This has actually resulted in ineffective procedures and restricted accessibility to lawful solutions, particularly for underrepresented and underserved communities.
Worldwide, more than 4 5 billion individuals lack meaningful access to justice. This consists of individuals who do not have the legal tools, such as identification papers or land tenure, to secure their assets and gain access to economic chances. Moreover, an approximated 253 million individuals stay in severe problems of oppression, such as statelessness or modern slavery.
Roughly 81 % of Nigerians have actually experienced at least one lawful problem in Nigeria in the past year.
The Accessibility to Justice Structure reports that 70 % of Nigerians do not have accessibility to formal legal solutions because of high prices and other obstacles. Nigeria’s court system is loaded down and slow-moving; for example, some instances can take up to 20 years in court. A substantial part of the populace struggles to manage lawful representation or navigate the intricacies of the legal system, compounded by a high illiteracy rate of around 38 % and pervasive poverty affecting nearly 40 % of the populace.
Thankfully, the tide is turning. Cutting-edge technology products and platforms are now dealing with the demand for much more reliable lawful processes and better accessibility to the justice system. From AI-driven legal study that lowers the time and cost of discovering pertinent instance regulation to virtual courts that enable process to continue without the requirement for physical visibility, mobile apps are being created to offer legal guidance and resources to individuals in remote areas who would or else have no access to lawful solutions. These advancements are leading the way for an extra available and simply lawful system. However, the trip towards very easy accessibility to justice is still recurring, and there’s much job to be done.
At LegalTech.Fest 1.0, we intend to dig deep into these transformative technologies and their impact on the legal sector. We will ask essential concerns such as: Just how has innovation genuinely altered the lawful landscape? Who are the trendsetters developing solutions to make justice more available? What difficulties do they encounter? And what does the future hold for law and justice in the age of modern technology?
