Technology can help people pursue justice. It can also be a source of injustice. Join us on May 7th for an ultra-practical webinar about how our movement can harness the power of tech and dodge the pitfalls.
A team from The Engine Room and Open Society Justice Initiative studied 136 projects that use technology for legal empowerment. At the webinar they’ll be sharing what they learned.
We’ll hear about the eight most common ways technology is used to deliver legal information and services – from websites to SMS to chat bots – and how to choose the right format for a specific need.
We’ll also learn design principles that can help ensure technology ends up being useful rather than distracting – from presenting legal and technical information in clear, accessible language to the importance of in-depth user research.
Special guest Nelson Olanipekun of Gavel will reflect on Justice Clock, which tracks how long individuals in Nigeria have spent in pre-trial detention. Olanipekun will share how that technology has improved the pace of justice delivery in the country.
Our movement is working every day to help people pursue remedies to injustice. When used strategically, technology can give these efforts wings. Join us on May 7 to learn how.
In partnership,
Marlon, Madeline, Michael, Luciana, Tobias, Mohammed, Vivek, and the rest of the team supporting the Global Legal Empowerment Network
