Inclusive, unbiased tools to make rights and remedies understandable

JusticeTech is an interdisciplinary course at The Ohio State University where legal expertise meets technical innovation and community partnership. By bridging the Moritz College of Law, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), and the Institute for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust (ICDT), we turn complex legal hurdles into clear, 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. We design human-centered legal tech tools grounded in rigorous academic research and hands-on experiential learning that empower Ohioans to navigate legal challenges with confidence.
