New AI Guide Empowers Legal Aid Organizations to Navigate Emerging Technology
Ypsilanti, MI – February 14, 2025 – Legal aid organizations now have a comprehensive new resource to help them understand and implement artificial intelligence (AI) technology effectively and ethically. The newly released “AI Guide for the Modern Legal Aid Organization” was created by A2J Tech with input from the Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project (LSNTAP). This guide aims to provide legal aid professionals with practical insights on what to consider when adding AI into an organization’s technical toolbox.
With the increasing role of AI in legal technology, this guide serves as an essential roadmap for organizations seeking to leverage AI tools responsibly. It covers key topics such as industry guidance, use cases, and security considerations.
“Legal aid organizations are under constant pressure to do more with limited resources, and AI has the potential to be a game-changer in improving efficiency and client services,” said Shellie Reid, Manager, at LSNTAP. “We were honored to contribute to this guide to ensure that AI is adopted in a way that is both innovative and equitable.”
The AI Guide for Legal Aid Organizations provides case studies, best practices, and a framework for evaluating AI tools. It also includes recommendations for mitigating risks and ensuring that technology deployment prioritizes client-centered legal services.
“AI is rapidly transforming the legal landscape, and legal aid programs need guidance tailored to their unique needs,” said Mauricio Duarte, COO, A2J Tech. “By working closely with LSNTAP staff, we have created a resource that helps legal aid organizations navigate this evolving space with confidence.”
The guide is now available for free download at LSNTAP.org. For more information, or to schedule an interview with the authors, please contact Fabiola Cruz Jorge, fabiola@goa2jtech.com (email), 704-241-4870 (phone).
