Public Law and Technology

Current project

The Public Law and Technology Project explores the implications, opportunities, and challenges of technology for public law.  The project brings together UNSW law academics researching in technology and public law, as well as researchers, policy-makers, computer scientists and practitioners beyond UNSW Law + Justice to examine issues including:

  • The implications of technology for the drafting and interpretation of legislation;
  • How governments are using technology to assist them in administrative decision-making and other administrative functions;
  • Best practice use of technology in court and tribunal processes; and
  • The privacy implications of governments’ and courts’ use of technology in exercising their functions.
