From this week's LSC Updates:

LSC has released its final report on the technological capacities that a modern legal aid program should have in place or have available to them. The updated report, Technologies That Should Be in Place in a Legal Aid Office Today, reflects comments received from a survey of grantees and an advisory group of leaders from legal aid programs.

The report covers technologies related to topics such as management of client and case data, intake and telephone advice, support for private attorneys, security, and training. LSC will rely on the report when reviewing the technology plans that grantees will be required to submit along with their 2010 grant applications and renewals. LSC President Helaine M. Barnett recently sent a memo to the executive directors of all LSC-funded programs detailing the ways in which LSC can help programs enhance their capacities.
