During the last week the 2019 edition of the Legal Tech Center conference took place in Berlin. Aside the conference and as part of the Global Legal Hackathon, also a hackathon was organized. Within just a single day several teams developed prototypes in the area of legal tech and presented their results to a jury. Team VizLaw were selected as winner by the jury. VizLaw won the competition with their visual exploration tool for court decisions, which heavily relies on our API and the citation dataset. As winner of the Berlin hackathon, VizLaw has qualified for the final round the Global Legal Hackathon and will present their prototype soon in New York in front of an even bigger audience.
