Justice Tech Resource Directory
Justice tech platforms use technology to help people understand and exercise their legal rights, navigate complex systems, and connect with information, tools, or advocates. Some tools are pure self-help and others connect you with lawyers, advocates, or service providers. Many are designed specifically for communities who face barriers to traditional legal help. Some are free of cost while others charge a minimal fee typically lower than fully hiring a private attorney. For a broader list of consumer-facing legal self-help tools, you can also explore the North Carolina-facing Justice Tech Directory curated by LSNTAP: Justice Tech Directory (LSNTAP).
