Presented by the ABA Journal and the Louisiana State Bar Association, #HackcesstoJusticeNOLA is your opportunity to use your legal, entrepreneurial, coding and other skills to help Louisiana’s legal aid community by creating a technology-enabled solution for the numerous challenges faced by citizens who cannot afford a lawyer and the lawyers trying to serve them.
These legal aid organizations and their lawyers want your help to improve the delivery of legal aid services to Louisiana’s population by, generally, making information about who they serve and the kind of services they provide more available to the public and, more specifically, helping them use their limited resources more efficiently while serving the unique needs of their clients.
Representatives from legal aid organizations throughout Louisiana will be on site to discuss the unique issues that they and their clients face and the types of solutions they seek.
Or, if you have your own idea to help legal aid lawyers better use their limited resources and more effectively serve their clients, bring it to life at #HackcesstoJusticeNola.
