Singapore’s government has pledged $10.8m towards a legal tech research programme to digitise laws, rules and agreements in the city state.
Singapore is to undertake a first-of-its-kind research on creating a working programming language for the country's laws and contracts. This language will be the foundation for specially trained computer programmers to create digital contracts and other legal documents.
The Singapore Management University (SMU) has been awarded a major grant of S$15 million from the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) to helm a five-year Research Programme in Computational Law.
