The Forum, Its Founders,
and Its Purpose
IFELT was established as an independent, non-profit international platform — born from the conviction that the legal and judicial world needs a dedicated space to study, anticipate, and shape the role of emerging technologies in the pursuit of justice.
An International Platform for Law, Justice & Technology
The International Forum for Emerging Law & Technology — IFELT — is an independent, non-profit international platform dedicated to the study, anticipation, development, promotion, and responsible use of emerging technologies in legal, judicial, legislative, educational, and related fields.
IFELT operates in the public interest. It is not affiliated with any government, commercial entity, or political body. Its work is guided solely by the principles enshrined in its Constitutive Charter and Statute.
At its core, IFELT seeks to contribute to systems that enhance access to justice and facilitate legal and judicial services across borders — ensuring that the promise of technology serves people, not the other way around.
