As technology becomes more and more accessible and intuitive in the Access to Justice space, many legal service providers are taking the leap to online triage. With the Louisiana Civil Legal Navigator, we’re doing just that. This article outlines some tips and tricks for drafting your own triage interview questions.
Using technology is a great way to bridge the justice gap, but data-driven decision making helps shine a light on where the needs are so efforts are appropriately channeled from the start.
In 2016, LSC announced efforts to establish state-wide access to justice portals. Since then, LSC has partnered with Microsoft and Pro Bono Net to design, test, and develop an intelligent technology platform that enables those falling within the "Justice Gap" to find actionable information and resources.
The LBF has hired Amanda L. Brown a licensed attorney and a legal innovation and technology consultant for the Civil Legal Navigator project. Amanda will work to bring together a broad spectrum of entities involved in providing access to justice to develop the civil legal aid technology portal.
