\"\"<\/a>The access to justice movement is focused on bridging lawyers and legal services to an unmet need from legal consumers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In simpler terms: There\u2019s plenty more legal work to be had; the question is how to make it viable for attorneys or legal services to take it on.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of potential solutions. But the best ones utilize technology.<\/p>\n

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).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

But, first \u2014 we discuss David\u2019s approach to DIY Zoom backgrounds, which must be seen (ahem: heard<\/i>) to be believed (2:30).\u00a0<\/span>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.\u00a0<\/span>Finally, we talk over natural language processing (19:50).<\/p>\n
