Net Neutrality:how its elimination might impact patients & healthcareKR_Barker
Â
Net Neutrality is the principle that all Internet service providers should enable equal access to all content found on the web, regardless of its source. As the government considers whether to do away with net neutrality, it’s important to think about how the elimination of this principle might impact patients and healthcare, in areas including: telemedicine; remote monitoring; access to cloud-based EHRs; addressing health disparities; encouraging digitally-based healthcare innovation; and patient access to online health content such as articles and videos.

This webinar will highlight examples of how virtual and remote legal services models are enabling new forms of pro bono participation and expanding the reach of services to underserved communities. Join us for this special pre-Pro Bono Celebration webinar to learn about new and emerging projects, and the staffing, technology and partnerships involved. We will also discuss resources and considerations for replication.
This webinar will review online intake, what it is, how it fits in the delivery of legal services continuum, and share two models of how two different programs have implemented it. Our examples from WA and NH will cover how online intake overlaps with telephonic intake and in person intake and how these programs manage online intake to promote access to legal services. We will then discuss the nuts and bolts of what legal non-profits need to be aware of and know before they start an online intake from a technology point of view. We will wrap up with an example of how to use intake data to facilitate and support regional resource allocation and collaboration across agencies as a way to promote systemic regional advocacy and effective resource allocation. The training will be helpful for those considering online intake projects, or for groups already doing online intake who are looking for examples/ideas of how other groups are maximizing the potential of online intake and its fruits. Attendees are strongly encourages to review prior online intake presentations available at (http://lsntap.org/Internet_Intake_Webcasts) as background, but not required.

Expanding Internationally Through Partnerships: Practical Lessons For 21st Ce...Rmasisak
Â
Rebecca Masisak and Marnie Webb, Co-CEOs, TechSoup Global
Your organization is currently doing critical work in the United States, but you recognize the need to grow its reach and impact internationally. What models should be considered? How do key staff and boards step up to support experimentation and adroitly shape and govern the emerging structures and brand?
Important lessons can be learned from pioneering TechSoup Global. As worldwide demand for its programs grew, TechSoup Global's leadership team and board struggled with developing an organizational model that would mobilize partners around a common mission and include contributions from multiple players. Like most organizations, key considerations included expansion without significant additions in headcount and overhead. Now operating in 33 countries with three distinct boards of directors, TechSoup Global has successfully built a growing global network of locally driven programs.
A showcase of applicable insights, this session explores lessons learned, innovative technologies deployed, organizational models piloted and refined, and how boards influence and model the kind of leadership needed as organizations expand internationally.
Our big goal with the Safe Shelter Collaborative? We want to reduce the time it takes a survivor of human trafficking or domestic violence to get shelter. We had a chance to share a project update recently. And this is what we said.

Since the early 2010s, LSC and other funders have encouraged legal aid programs to create multilingual materials and make their online tools available in languages represented in their states. A two-part miniseries will review best practices and tools that are available to expedite the creation of online materials for Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities, and focus on activities and strategies to make sure those materials are well used and known among LEP communities in those regions. The first session will focus on reviewing the elements of creating strong LEP materials within budget. It will cover sharing tech tools that can be used to expedite LEP content creation, choosing materials that are relevant to that particular language community, LEP outreach, and more. The second series review LSC TIG-funded projects funded from 2010-2014 -- when LSC made language access a priority for TIG grants -- and share the success and lessons learned from language access projects.
This is the first part of the series.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Services-Tech empire was
not built in a day.
A few ideas to explore and
how to get started.

8. Goals for Tech-Enabled Pro Bono
Pro bono programs
New pathways for volunteers to learn about and engage in
your programs
Pro bono lawyers
Enhanced support, access to expertise, and new forms of
volunteering
Clients
Greater resources and efficiencies; increased services to
underserved clients and communities
9. LawHelpInteractive: Examples of Technology
Tools with the Power to Enhance Pro Bono
Initiatives
Mirenda Watkins, Esq.
LawHelp Interactive Program Coordinator
Pro Bono Net
11. What is LawHelp Interactive (LHI)?
o
o
o
A training center—we teach people how to
create interactive interviews
A tech support center—we provide technical
support
A replication/best practices engine—we share
best practices, a community of sharing
12. What is LawHelp Interactive (cont’d)
A personalized
document is created
from the answers.
Advocates or Selfrepresented Litigants
answer questions during
an interview.
Supports use of HotDocs™
and/or A2J Author™ interviews.
13. How are Pro Bono Volunteers using LawHelp
Interactive Forms?
Direct Representation:
• Pro bono lawyers are taking cases in an area outside their expertise and filing
pleadings using LHI technology
Limited Scope/Unbundled Legal Services
• Remote review of pleadings by pro bono lawyers/not having to go downtown to
do pro bono
• In person review by pro bono lawyers at self-help centers
Information/referral/Screening
• Emeritus attorneys staffing self-help centers in libraries and courts
• Emeritus attorneys staffing foreclosure hotlines (Georgia)
• Screening for N-400s (Citizenship Works)
• Law students/AmeriCorps staffing self-help centers, leading workshops, and
college students staffing drop-in centers (Los Angeles, Kentucky, Bet Tzedek)
14. What are the Benefits of Interactive Forms in a
Pro Bono Context?
•
Standardize Content
•
Electronic remote sharing
•
Reusable information
•
Reduce training time by providing checks &
balances, references, and calculators
•
Sample pleadings can be reduced to one interview, one
URL–no need to send out multiple documents in one big
binder
17. New York Family Court
Remote Volunteer Attorney Program

18. Family Court in New York – the numbers
Number of dispositions per judge, 2005:
–Family Court: 2,120
–Supreme Court, Civil: 525
–Supreme/County Courts,
Criminal: 222
–Court of Claims: 63
Another way to think of it:
In 2006, 127 Family Court judges were
responsible for 680,791 new filings
Percentage of litigants proceeding pro se:
>80%
19. Family Court Remote Volunteer Attorney Project
• The Family Court Volunteer
Attorney Project (VAP)
provides
free, discrete, unbundled legal
advice by volunteer attorneys
to un-represented litigants.
• In 2012, we began a pilot that
extended the service to Staten
Island using
videoconferencing.

20. Previous Limits on Resources
Staten Island (Richmond County) has not been covered in
the past by VAP due to geography and limited resources.
–Geography
• The vast majority of volunteer attorneys
participating in VAP are based in Manhattan
–Resources
• No dedicated space for VAP
• No dedicated personnel for the program in
Staten Island
21. How the Remote VAP Works
The idea: use technology to make VAP
services available
• Use web-based communications
technology to allow experienced
volunteer attorneys in Manhattan
to assist pro se litigants in other
counties
• Use scanning and remote IP
printing to deliver documents from
litigants to volunteers and vice
versa
22. Project Requirements
• Computer stations in Manhattan and
target counties equipped with video
conferencing
software, cameras, microphones, speak
ers, printers, and scanners
• Secure, stable lines of communication
•Trained person to screen litigants and
experienced family law attorney to
supervise/mentor volunteers
23. The Process
• Screener conducts intake with litigant in Richmond intake room
• Screener escorts litigant to consultation room. Volunteer in
Manhattan counsels litigant via video call
• If volunteer has a question, mutes video call and telephones
mentor/supervisor
• Volunteer returns to video call, finishes consultation
• Volunteer prints any documents litigant needs to IP printer in
target county
24. Current Status
•Expanding to service locations beyond New York City
–The program is in the process of expanding to multiple
counties upstate
25. Contributors to Success
• Staff conducting the pilot in NYC very experienced and
enthusiastic – good environment for volunteers
• Every county has dedicated IT personnel who are
able/willing to make the technology work seamlessly
• Workflow has been simplified as much as possible with
step-by-step instructions for volunteers
• Extensive efforts to create buy-in from local court
administrations and bar associations
26. Challenges
• Upstate/downstate divide: initial reluctance and
assumption that ―they don’t understand‖
• New and different staffing models required based on
circumstances of individual counties
• Navigating administrative and political concerns to
maintain positive experience for volunteers/litigants

28. The NYC Consumer
Debt Defense Project
Carolyn Coffey
Supervising Attorney
Consumer Rights Project,
MFY Legal Services
29. Consumer Debt
• In 2011, 42% of overall debt collection
lawsuits resulted in default judgments –
but debt buyers obtained default
judgments in an estimated 62% of their
cases
• 95% of people with default judgments
reside in low- or moderate-income
neighborhoods
30. Only 2% of people sued by debt
buyers in NYC are represented by
counsel
Only 10% of people sued
answered the summons
and complaint
31. The Pro Bono Response
• CLARO (Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office)
• Weekly, walk-in clinics held in courthouses
• Litigants receive advice about their case and
assistance preparing some documents
• Staffed by experienced experts, pro bono
attorneys, and trained law students
• Very successful — and very popular
32. Challenges of this Model
• Clinics overflowing with litigants
• Significant learning curve for pro bono lawyers
and students
• Some essential responsive documents too
complex to be drafted during brief services
(especially MSJs)
33. Document Assembly Resources
for Pro Se Litigants
• Motion to Vacate a Default Judgment
• Debt Verification Letter
• Answer
• Demand for Documents
40. Sample Response to a
Motion for Summary
Judgment
•
Created in
minutes, as
opposed to hours
41. Benefits and Factors of Success
•
•
•
•
Clinic volunteers can now serve clients more
quickly, and thus serve more clients
Less experienced volunteers now have
expert guidance just by walking through the
interview
Most clinic supervisors are strong supporters
of technological innovation
New volunteers being trained in tech
methods from the beginning
42. Challenges and Considerations
•
Some personnel are very comfortable with
previous “by hand” methods and adjustments
they had made
•
Learning curve of using the software
•
As tech use expands, adapting to procedural
idiosyncrasies of new locations

45. Mobile and Remote Innovations to
Support Pro Bono Engagement
Liz Keith
LawHelp Program Manager
Pro Bono Net
46. MN “Pro Bono to Go” Project Overview
•
•
2013 TIG to Legal Aid Services of Northeastern
Minnesota
•
Partners: Legal Services State Support, MSBA &
Pro Bono Net
Goal: Create a mobile version of ProJusticeMN.org
featuring mobile-optimized settlement checklists and
client interview guides
47. Why mobile checklists?
•
Settlement opportunities can arise
unexpectedly, often at court
•
Good settlements can have
tremendous benefits to the client
•
But settlements have benefits and
pitfalls that an inexperienced
attorney might overlook
•
Checklists can help with issuespotting and make volunteers
more confident taking cases
outside their area
48. Why mobile interview guides?
•
Walk-in clinics are a staple of
volunteer attorney work
•
Standardized interview
guides can help practitioners
get better and more
complete information from
clients – and provide better
advice as a result
•
The guides can also speed up
issue-spotting, making
sessions more efficient
49. Other uses of mobile
• Mobile apps to connect attorneys with information about
volunteering and practice resources
• Illinois Legal Aid Online, Arkansas Legal Services
Partnership, Public Counsel (LA)
• Screening resource for non-legal volunteers
• R3 Domestic Violence Screening app (Recognize,
Respond and Refer)
• Bay Area medical-legal partnership created an app to
help social workers and nurses screen clients for legal
issues
• Your ideas?
50. Remote services pro bono models
• Virtual legal clinic and lawyer in the
library programs
• Pro Bono Project of Silicon
Valley Virtual Legal Services
clinics
• Remote document review from
court-based self-help centers
• LiveHelp/ live chat
• Asynchronous online advice
platforms
• e.g. OnlineTNJustice.org
51. Where is LiveHelp / live chat
being used with law student and
private attorney volunteers?
Blue = Live projects staffed by legal aid
staff, Americorps*VISTA volunteers, and
librarians
Green = Live projects using volunteers
Yellow = Projects in development that will use
volunteers
52. What kind of assistance are volunteers providing?
•
•
Information-finding and referral assistance (all)
•
•
•
•
•
Help applying for services online (UT)
Individualized legal assistance after screening (TX)
Help finding & using online self-help forms
(MT, KS, AR, OK, TX)
Bilingual Spanish assistance (NY, IL)
Court self-help services (MD)
Pro bono counsel & advice (OH – 2014)
53. Considerations for using volunteers in LiveHelp
•
Anytime/anywhere option is attractive
•
Volunteers who participated in LiveHelp
•
Does your program have online content (FAQs, instructions,
referral info) that volunteers can lean on?
•
LiveHelp system content and admin tools can help with
support and supervision
•
Use of volunteers requires a greater investment in staff
supervisor time
•
Need a system for back-channel support (e.g. Google chat)
54. What does the (not so distant) future hold?
•
More sophisticated & tailored case
marketing and matching
•
Auto-generated personalized
referral packets for volunteers
(drawing on statewide website
content & automated forms)
•
Virtual law office platforms with
secure client and volunteer portals
(e.g. RocketLawyer) to provide
unbundled or full services
•
