Justice North Helps Empower Local Communities with Legal Kiosks

A2J Tech, Minnesota’s Reach Justice technology partner, presented a webinar last month to provide insights into the development, funding, and implementation of Legal Kiosks and how this innovative project is enhancing community access to legal resources and the internet. Dori Rapaport, executive director of Justice North, was on hand to talk about Minnesota’s kiosk experience and she was joined by Elliott Fontenette of Texas Legal Services Center, and Susan Meyers of Nevada Legal Services.

Legal Kiosks are computers located in public spaces that provide access to legal services. Legal Kiosks help remove technology access and transportation barriers. They enable individuals to connect with legal information and services in their community. Legal Kiosk users can 1) attend virtual hearings, 2) Apply for legal help, 3) browse legal resources, and 4) print and scan documents.

The hour-long webinar is available to watch on YouTube: A2J Tech Events: Empowering Communities with Legal Kiosks
