Although corporate legal departments and access to justice efforts typically sit on opposite sides of the legal spectrum, they have more things in common than one might think. Both deal with high volumes and strapped budgets, forcing them to lean heavily on legal technology.
Four women legal technologists with access to justice goals gathered last week at packed room of Michigan State University College of Law to discuss some of the ways they leverage technology to bring legal services to underserved communities. The panel discussion, organized by MSU law student and Ms. JD fellow Irene Mo, featured Tracy Davis, product director for Court Innovations; Tiffany Graves, executive director for the Mississippi Access to Justice Commission; Vedika Mehera, legal solutions architect at DWT De Novo; and Angela Tripp, project manager at Michigan Legal Help.
