Reenie Kong

Hi, my name is Reenie, and I am a first-year law student. I joined Legal Tech because I wanted to pay cognizance to the technologies currently revolutionizing the legal profession. I'm running for Welfare Officer because I want to create an informed and safe community for shared understanding about automated legal services.

I have experience as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer during my senior year in my previous school, where good communication and interpersonal skills were key to ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Through this experience, I led workshops on inclusivity, discussions on delicate topics and examined injustices in my community. As a first-year and an international student, I can address members' concerns and bring forward ideas from various perspectives.

As Welfare Officer I aim to:

- help increase understanding and identify how members can engage with Legal Tech to prepare for sector-specific technology such as advanced chatbots and smart legal contracts

- run a series of discussion based events which encourage open conversation concerning welfare, understanding and suggestions

- encourage discussions of the challenges and potential solutions facing Legal Tech such as cost, client confidentiality and data protection

It would be an honor to be UCL Legal Tech's next welfare officer.
