The Student Challenge is a 2-Days undergraduate student competition designated to provide students with a deeper understanding of the legal challenges arisen by the development of technology.

ITLL Student Challenge is a sort of “Legal Hackathon”, during which students will be asked to solve a complex business/tech law problem that might arise in everyday law practice. Divided into teams, each supported by a Mentor, participants will be given one day to hack the solution. Teams will then be asked to present it before a panel of judges consisting of professors and practitioners from top law firms. Each team will be asked to analyse a specific problem (sort by ballot).

Challenge participants’ research, analysis, persuasiveness, and oral/writing ability will be evaluated. The best team wins an internship in the partner Law Firms.

The competition is a great way for law students to showcase their knowledge in a real-world setting and gain valuable exposure to the law community. Starting in their second year, all law students are eligible to take part.

There are a limited number of spots available for this event (cap of 5 Teams).
