New Categories Highlight Legal Innovation
This year’s awards introduce two significant new categories.
Firstly, an Education category has been established to honor universities and educators driving innovation within legal education.
Secondly, due to the substantial volume of nominations received, the Access to Justice category was divided into three distinct subcategories: Individual, LegalTech, and Legal Aid.
Finally, a Lifetime Achievement Award is also new this year. This honor recognizes an individual whose entire career has been dedicated to advancing legal innovation.
