Why this topic and why these projects?• Limited resources/shrinking resources but growing need and complexity of cases.• Better understanding of technology benefits in the practice of law.• Technology is getting cheaper/easier to use/replicate/share/mash AND we know more about what users need. We are becoming more client centric—less text, more visuals, more interaction, more situational knowledge.• Remember the digital natives-discussion of 5-8 years ago?
-advocates (attorneys and non attorneys)-clients, applicants, and their support networks
• ALL of these push factors impact the way we work, the way we share, the way we organize, plan, react, and ultimately serve our clients and communities.
Examples: providers•Podcasts/ & Google Hangouts to train lawyers
- Shriver Center•Social media icons - standard/expected•Skype- lots of groups using Skype internally and for non-advice communications with non-clients
•E-conferences/fundraising/crowdsourcing funding, etc.•Online forms to train lawyers (training forms)• Online advice services such as OnlineTNJustice.org •Texting projects• Integration of proven tools into multiple platforms•Changing law school curriculum•New funders: Knight Foundation (for example expungement.io)
Examples: client• The DIY movement - do your own jeans, shoes, shirts - won’t fade. This is a permanent change in consumer taste/expectations.
• On demand - 24/7 • Growth of suburban poverty • Need for multilingual assistance/technology facilitates this
• Transportation/mobility barriers• Growing group of younger elderly cohort (Baby Boomers) more diverse than before
Why these projects?
•They integrate multiple technologies for very specific audiences and with very specific purposes - user centric.
•They are new, and have not been shared a great deal. (There are a lot of other really good projects not covered in this webinar that have been shared before)
•They are collaborative in nature.
