Review of existing legal documents
Corporate hygiene that will set us up to scale rapidly in 2024
Posted December 10, 2023
Work & Deliverables
We would like to have our existing nonprofit formation documents and web policies (e.g., privacy and cookie policies) reviewed to to see if we need to make updates to reflect our current status now that we have been in existence for nearly 2 years. After the review, it would be ideal to receive a set of recommendations on what we should put in place in the immediate and mid-term future.
Justice Technology Association
The access to justice crisis is overwhelming. Some stats: 92% of people with civil legal problems who did not receive any or enough legal assistance in 2022, up from 86% in 2017. In at least 75% of civil cases, at least one party is self represented, meaning they go it alone through a daunting process stacked against them. The US is ranked #115 of 140 countries on affordability of access to legal support. We believe technology can and should be part of the solution. Justice Technology Association is the first and only organization bringing together like-minded tech entrepreneurs in pursuit of equity in the justice system. We support innovative solutions designed to modernize interaction with the legal system, making it more accessible, efficient and fair for everyone. Our work centers around three main goals: 1. Building an ecosystem of justice tech entrepreneurs, investors, top reform advocates, academic innovators, policy experts, tech leaders, and like-minded organizations - all working to increase access to justice through technology. 2. Supporting ethical, mission-focused startups that are creating tech solutions to the access to justice crisis by eliminating roadblocks and raising awareness of this nascent sector. 3. Centering consumer benefit and mitigating consumer harm for those who need affordable legal support. We are 100% volunteer-driven and your support will enable us to scale to further support underrepresented entrepreneurs and narrow the justice gap for the billions of people who cannot currently access their rights. Because the law belongs to all of us, not just those who can afford it.
