For better or worse, artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay. Those in the access-to-justice community are looking for ways to ethically harness its potential to help better serve clients and to reduce justice gaps by expanding access to legal services. The development and use of these tools go beyond the headlines relating to ChatGPT and other generative AI, as their use in a legal practice raise a number of significant ethical questions and concerns for lawyers engaged in the delivery of legal services to those of limited means.

MIE is pleased to announce the upcoming webinar Advancing Excellence and Equity through Feedback Data presented by Listen4Good, October 10, 2 - 3:00 PM ET. Legal aid providers need great data to do great work. For example, data that tells you whether your clients feel up-to-date on their cases. Data that tells you what your volunteers are experiencing. Data that tells you what’s working well with virtual and in-person meeting operations, and what’s working not so well. In this interactive workshop, we will share how legal aid organizations across the country have used client feedback for fundraising, strategic decision-making, and advancing equity goals. We will share best practices and lessons learned, including survey design, data collection techniques, confidentiality, reporting, visualization, and change management.
