21 June 2017

香港六合彩 Laws LLB alumna Lorraine Chimbga has been awarded the聽聽by AIJA,聽the聽, on the topic of 鈥淭he impact of technology on the law and/or on the legal profession.鈥

Lorraine entered the competition with聽a research essay that answered the question 鈥淲ill the increasing use of technology in law invigorate or diminish legal professionalism as the nature of information in the Digital Society changes?鈥

The essay is a condensed聽version聽of her dissertation that she originally submitted for the Practice and Ethics module, convened by聽Professor Richard Moorhead. Lorraine鈥檚聽essay explores the often-overlooked historical development and relationship between technology and the legal profession. She demonstrates that in the same way that the printing press revolutionized legal practice, the increasing use of technology does not diminish the legal profession where it actively develops, adapts and harnesses technology in order to once again define and set the parameters of what legal professionalism as a public good entails in the Digital Age.

Lorraine Chimbga said:

鈥業 am so honoured and excited to win such a prestigious award for a subject that I am passionate about. I can鈥檛 wait to attend the annual congress in Japan later on this year where I will receive my award.

I am also looking forward to the programme of workshops that will cover the future of law and how we deal with technological developments and innovate聽as a profession.鈥

Lorraine will receive her award at the International Young Lawyers鈥 Congress taking place in Tokyo in August 2017.
