Legal services organizations around the country are engaging with digital technologies in new and exciting ways. From developing hands-on training programs for staff less comfortable with digital tools to conducting robust data analysis using public and proprietary data to classifying court documents with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, our field’s use of technology is racing ahead. The great success of these efforts is multiplied when these ideas are shared, iterated upon, and improved by motivated lawyers and coders throughout the country. This workshop will use a series of “Lightning Talks” to encourage greater cross-pollination of technology ideas, resources, and projects. Presenters will offer brief explanations or demonstrations of projects and then lead an open discussion among attendees to build on the contributions of others.
