Bath University: Centre for Death & Society
Bath University had a unique challenge: their Centre for Death & Society wanted to produce a walking tour of the city of Bath, that shows the user's position in the city, and give them markers that trigger text and audio describing the history of both death and crime in the city.
The tool is a Progressive Web Application: you can visit it as a website, and on most mobile browsers, then install it as an application if you wish. That flexibility enables users to access the service without installing yet another application to their device.
It was a fascinating build, involving not only the usual coding and visual work, but producing audio recordings of some really intriguing content.
Informu Solutions
Informu went through a lengthy process to decide how their new site should express the broad range of services they offer. In the end, we revisited the project, and threw out everything but that, then added only the extras that we deemed essential.
The result is a fun little site that's more like a web app, getting straight to the point of Informu's offering.
Zehuti BCX
BCX is a Zehuti product enabling its subscribers to carry out extensive queries on the Bitcoin blockchain. It's primarily used by law enforcement agencies to track and identify transactions through mixing services, aiding them in investigating instances of corporate ransom as well as other nefarious criminal activities.
The system enables users to query terabytes of indexed data using an in-browser windowed operating system; the only way to sensibly present such a wide and complicated array of tools.
At A Glance Cloud
At A Glance is the FLBA's publication of vital facts and figures for all family practitioners. Produced by Mr Justice Mostyn, Lewis Marks KC, Gavin Smith and Joseph Rainer, it is used in court and negotiation at all levels.
At A Glance Cloud is the online companion for the book, that as well as containing the original content, presents the book's tables and algorythms in the form of calculators that produce detailed reports as PDFs and Word documents.
It's usable as a website, but also installable as a Progressive Web Application, compatible with desktop and mobile devices for offline use.
Net Zero Lawyers
The Net Zero Lawyers Alliance recognises that clients of all sizes are increasingly concerned with the carbon impact of every stage of their supply chains, and so encourage action through commitment, capacity building and commercial law services, as well as through systemic development of commercial law.
Zehuti provides complementary video resources and microsites, such as the law navigator pictured here.
Sadly, these resources are locked to NZLA members - but if you're a law company, you could always join!
Blockchain Report 2023
The Law Society, the Society for Computers & Law, and Mishcon de Reya again collaborated on this year's annual Blockchain Report, a guide for lawyers on all matters pertaining to blockchain and the law.
This project began with hours of video recording a preparation, culminating in a microsite to present both watchable and readable content, and track users' engagement with it.
Remote Courts Worldwide
The Covid-19 lockdown had a profound impact on court systems worldwide, driving the migration towards a remote process at a much greater speed. This site, built for the Society for Computers & Law, TechNation and Her Majesty's Courts Service, collates news and views from across the world on that movement.
Family Orders
Continuing the legal theme, this tool enables lawyers to work with the Standard Family Orders, by:
- managing and merging core case data, then
- creating colour-coded Word documents from up-to-date templates, by
- selecting document elements from a taxonomy tree.
Employment Claims Toolkit
The Employment Claims Toolkit makes assessing the value of employment claims quicker, more accurate and more consistent.
Employment claims can be complex things, involving hundreds of calculations defined by legal precedent. Zehuti worked with Bath Publishing to create a calculator that details every aspect of an employment case and outputs court-ready schedules of loss.
Costs Law Reports
What makes Costs Law Reports interesting is its search engine; presenting its content (a vast library of costs cases) with an expert, instantaneous search engine using a mix of raw data and text analysis.
