Every day across the country and beyond, there are professionals working in the legal aid non-profit community whose roles cross over into the legal tech area. These roles include IT professionals, accidental techies, legal practitioners, legal aid management, and more. We want to introduce our members to people that are working in the trenches getting things done so that they feel that community spirit and know that they are not alone.

Have you ever wondered what technology projects that legal aid organizations and others in our community are working on across the country? LSNTAP staff was curious also, so we will be featuring some of those projects this year.  Do you have a technology related project that you think deserves some attention? Fill out our form and your project may be the next one in the spotlight.
