About JusticeTech

JusticeTech is an interdisciplinary incubator at The Ohio State University where legal expertise meets technical innovation. By uniting the Moritz College of Law with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE),  and the Institute for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust (ICDT), we transform complex legal hurdles into accessible and ethical digital solutions.

At the heart of the program is the JusticeTech Capstone Practicum. In this hands-on course, law and computer science students team up to design solutions for real legal issues

How We Learn

 

  • Legal Innovation: Law students conduct deep-dive legal research and systems analysis to identify where the justice system is failing the public. 
  • Technical Architecture: Computer science students lead technical design and software development, turning legal theory into functional, secure code. 
  • Community-Led Design: Our teams utilize a collaborative development process guided by direct input from community partners, courts, and non-profit organizations.
