Cut drafting time by 90%

Easy intake and document automation to auto-populate your templates.

As many traditional law student volunteer opportunities have diminished in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, new opportunities have also arisen. Law students are simultaneously more willing to engage in varied volunteer experiences and more adept at learning new technology than ever before. Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) joined forces with Southwestern Law student volunteers to build its dream expungement platform to help scale their services across the LA community.

Watch this interactive session (which first aired at the Legal Services Corporation (LSC)'s Innovations in Technology Conference.

We discuss how to leverage and engage law students to build legal technology tools remotely and how you can build your own tools.

Gavel is also part of the ABA Legal Tech for a Change program, which allows LSC Grantee organizations free access to Gavel.
