Let's hack the law!
Dear Hacker
To help you make the craziest ideas happen, we provide you with full API access to our legal databases. Below you can find instructions on how to access the API and a few examples on what you can do with it.
We will be at the hackathon during the whole time to share ideas and help you build your prototypes. You may also contact us by email (gfeller@lexferenda.ch).
If you'd like to know more about what we do besides hackathons, you can click here to learn about Lex Ferenda.
