“What I enjoy most about Le Hackies,” DC Legal Hackers organizer Rebecca Williams told Technical.ly, “is that it brings together many law, tech, and law/tech organizations that are all doing great things in D.C., but might not necessarily know each other.”
And that’s precisely what Williams and her co-organizers did on Wednesday night.
Taking over The Loft at 600 F for the second year in a row, the legal hacking community convened for an event that promised to be “part awards show, part new years party, all ‪#‎legalhack‬.”
Here’s who was honored:
