The Study Group in Law, Technology and Innovation (known by the Portuguese initials DTI-UFMG) is a group duly registered at the Department of Civil, Procedural and Commercial Law of the UFMG Law School and at the NIEPE (group registering unit) of the same institution. It is one of the permanent study groups at the Law School and was founded in 2018 by law students under the supervision of Professor Leonardo Parentoni.
