The federal Legal Services Corp. has awarded sizable tech grants to the Georgia Legal Services Program and the Atlanta Legal Aid Society to expand the reach of their online, legal self-help services for low-income people with civil legal problems.

Georgia Legal Services will use a $218,000 technology initiative grant from the LSC to develop three interactive, online tutorials addressing common landlord-tenant issues. One will teach tenants representing themselves their rights and the steps for proceeding with a case, while the others will provide training for the group’s pro bono lawyers and legal aid staff. The tutorials will require users to answer multiple-choice questions to ensure they understand the concepts.
