Law for Everyone Contestants Announced

We're excited to announce the contestants for the Law for Everyone challenge!  These teams are off to the races building their legal applications.  They now have until August 7th to build out their projects before the judging begins.

The Law for Everyone challenge (see evaluation criteria here) is a competition for the Bucerius Legal Tech Essentials and the Passport to Practice programs, where teams around the world build legal tech applications on Gavel (formerly Documate) to solve a legal problem - whether it be legal aid, consumer, or corporate-focused.  The winner will receive a $1,000 prize.  

Team Name: 4CORI

What are they building? Most criminal records in Massachusetts have four outcomes: they cannot be sealed; they can be sealed through 100A process; they can be sealed through 100C process; they cannot be sealed yet (longer time frame needed). However, there is no method to quickly and conveniently determine which of the four outcomes applies. Hence, 4CORI. The goal of 4CORI is to design a series of user inputs and apply simple computing to determine eligibility.
