Under the framework of grant competition the Ministry of Justice of Georgia organised a presentation of the winning project called “Digital Academy of Legal Technologies.” The project aims to teach lawyers about the technological aspects for handling technology-related cases.
The project’s main goal is to teach Law Technologies (Legaltech) to lawyers working in Georgia. They will also learn and acquire the technical skills that will help them use modern innovations in their daily operations and improve the quality of work. At the same time during the theoretical part of the course the participants will gain information about the delivery of legal services through algorithm-based computer systems across every part of the country.
On the other hand the Participants will also learn about a legal tech program that uses Logos and the “ruling” method to create digital products such as automated legal counsel bots, contract and lawsuit-generating systems, and others.
On this occasion while speaking to the attendees the Deputy Minister of Justice of Georgia, Tornike Cheishvili, explained the importance of the project. At the same time, Professor Giorgi Khubua of Tbilisi State University, Professor Zviad Gabisonia of the University of Business and Technology, and Project Head Natia Sirdadze provided participants with detailed information about the studies offered within the project. Similarly, the Associate Professor of the University of Business and Technology, Lado Sirdadze, presented a presentation on the generation of practical modules that can be implemented within the project.
Further the project will be implemented in cooperation with Oxford University’s LegalTech Association and German LegalTech Company KnowledgeTools International. Professor Stefan Braidenbach, Dr Tilo Wendy, Hatim Hussein, and Daniel Foa will lead lectures, and Georgian experts will also participate in the event.
