You have pro bono attorneys in the city, but there are significant unmet client needs in rural areas where precious few attorneys practice and even fewer volunteers are willing or able to travel. What to do? Remote services delivery uses technology to bring legal services to underserved populations. This session will highlight two remote service delivery initiatives: Closing the Gap, a virtual legal assistance platform that combines video conferencing and interactive interviews; and LHI Connect, which facilitates remote review of LawHelp Interactive online forms in unbundled pro bono services. Come learn about how these models work and discuss how they can be used to increase pro bono engagement for your program!
