ABOUT THE COLLOBRATORS: LEGAL START UPS
Indian Legal System is going through a tough time because of the pendency of cases for years. Many efforts have been made to cope up with this situation. We need a radical change in the legal system and innovation is the answer to this. Western countries have come up with several innovative platforms i.e. legal startups to address various legal affairs. We also need legal startups in India to make the system efficient and effective which is non-existent. Looking at this situation, Legal Startups has been created for highlighting all legal startups across the world. The main objective of Legal Startups is to highlight all legal startups and put it on one platform.
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
The main idea of the competition is to showcase the Legal Start Up’s, exhibit their functioning, the challenges they faced or are facing and the outcome achieved by them. The competition is an attempt to provide a platform to all the Legal Start Up’s to exhibit their ideas and working in a competitive ambience.
THEME OF THE COMPETITION
The field of litigation is witnessing various challenges for last few decades especially in terms of pendency of cases, quick disposal, mounting appeals, traditional methods of lawyering which fail to address the contemporary problems and complex legal compliance’s. To address these situations, we need to device new and better innovative mechanisms and initiatives in the said fields. Innovation and Startups in the legal field are the answer to this paradox that our Judicial System is facing.
Many young entrepreneurs have introduced startups which have come up in the legal system in the past few years especially by young, dynamic individuals. Also, the Ministries, Government Departments/bodies have initiated various innovative schemes for ensuring Justice is served to people at large. Main objective of Legal Startups is to highlight all legal startups and put it on one platform.
