H4J is back on the calendar in 2023! Our first 2023 event was a Beginner Workshop taking place July 15 and 16 in Chicago. Our next 2023 event will be announced soon – sign up for email updates to be the first to hear the details!

Hacking 4 Justice began in 2018 as a project of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office under State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. Today, we independently offer inclusive, positive training events that are open – for free! – to anyone in Cook County. Our trainings convene leaders from the SAO, experts from the data science field, and community members of all backgrounds to learn from each other, learn with each other, and build communities that are more self-knowledgeable, more prosperous, and more just.

Whether you’re a scholar, lawyer, activist, or simply a community member who wants to know more about the criminal justice system at work in Cook County, we have a seat for you at the table. You’ll learn more about the open data resources offered by the SAO, develop new technical skills applicable to all kinds of data work, and connect with others who care about the criminal justice system.
