Project Lead: Hayden Kim
Project Supervisor: Andrew Ozanian
Project Advisors: Karen Tsu & Mary Katherine Brink
Overview
Objective
- This project aims to create an online case database that manages and tracks legal cases handled by IBJ-associated lawyers across 50+ countries around the globe.
- The application allows authorized users to 1) add and update case information, 2) search and filter cases, and 3) access legal resources.
- The application also shows the number and types of cases that IBJ is working on or has worked on across the globe to general users. It will thereby serve as an outreach tool for IBJ to address its organizational impact and promote the importance of legal rights and access to justice worldwide.
