Share another Justice Tech org you love, and why.
I think that the courts themselves with their self-help centers are a great source of inspiration.
Which of the JTA’s Mission, Purpose, and Values drew you most to JTA, and how does your work address them?
“Encourage and provide support for innovative approaches that reduce disproportionate impact and inequitable distribution of legal services.” I think that we can play a huge part in that. AI can/should solve many of low hanging fruit however, privacy must remain a centerpiece of all legal tech strategies so we can protect attorney/client privilege in a world where AI renders legal services.
