How Technology Supports Access To Justice
https://www.ispeech.org/text.to.speech
The access to justice movement is focused on bridging lawyers and legal services to an unmet need from legal consumers.
In simpler terms: There’s plenty more legal work to be had; the question is how to make it viable for attorneys or legal services to take it on.
There are a lot of potential solutions. But the best ones utilize technology.
So, in this episode of the Non-Eventcast, I talk to David Colarusso, of Suffolk University Law School, about the intersection between legal tech and A2J (access to justice).
But, first — we discuss David’s approach to DIY Zoom backgrounds, which must be seen (ahem: heard) to be believed (2:30). David then offers a definition for access to justice (4:12), before discussing some solutions that have been tried to bridge the access to justice gap (11:39). David next addresses the use of document assembly (13:15) and efiling (16:19) in the service of access to justice. Finally, we talk over natural language processing (19:50).
