Reimagining Justice covers issues at the intersection of innovation, law and social justice and you will enjoy it if you’re someone who hopes to make a positive improvement to people’s experience of the law through new ways of thinking and doing.
In episode no. 81 my guest is Brian Tang, Founding Executive director of LITE Lab@HKU and Co-chair, Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation & Technology Association (ALITA). We discuss:
- Brian’s career path (which will be interesting to law students);
- How he became involved with innovation in the law in Hong Kong;
- The main justice issues in Hong Kong;
- What LITE stands for, and why it is intentionally a “Lab”;
- How the Lab works with students from 6 out of the 10 faculties at Hong Kong University;
- Topics and the experiential experiences that are covered in the Lab’s courses and why;
- How LITE Lab partners with tech start-ups, NGOs and in-house counsel to co-design research projects;
- Examples of the innovative projects including workers compensation, low-income tenants, discrimination, women’s rights, human trafficking and foreign workers;
- Cultural foundations of ‘pro bono’ and differences in approach across the world;
- Capacity and evolution of NGOs affecting their response to implement technology;
- Why Brian considers the LITE Lab a ‘marketplace’ of sorts;
- The criticism that undergrad courses and hackathons are not effective;
- The potential of low code/no code, including the ability to maintain software in-house;
- Need for integration with existing corporate and NGO systems;
- Issues of funding and software sustainability of applications developed by NGOs;
- Impact investing, ESG requirements and social entrepreneurs’ potential for the future;
- Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation and Technology Association’s (“ALITA”) mission;
- Categories of ALITA awards (closing soon!); and
- Brian’s definition of legal innovation!
