what attracted Dana to the challenge; the format of the Law Tech Challenge, and the stakeholders involved; the critical role of mentors from Allens and the importance of the Neota training; what made the difference to working well as a team; how the teams gained a thorough understanding of the issues facing their partner not-for-profit Autism Spectrum Australia, “Aspect”; how they tested their ideas and the apps; the winning “Raffle app” – what’s unique about it, how it assists Aspect and its likely impact; is potential to scale and the challenges in achieving that; ethical issues relating to technology including from a human rights perspective; other apps created during the challenge to assist not-for-profit partners including Siana - helping International Social Service Australia with international child abduction applications under the Hague convention; Apollo - a volunteer coordination app for Respect Now Always; and Empower Her - reporting and providing feedback for the mentoring program for the Women's Justice Network; the key thing Dana learnt from this experience; the points of difference in this program; the benefits of collaboration between a law school and its students, not-for-profits, software providers and a law firm! Dana and Genevieve’s one word to describe the challenge; and Dana and Genevieve’s definitions of legal innovation.
