Improve the current broadband capacity of sites within the 22 counties to support real-time video conferencing. Gaps in internet coverage are still noted throughout the state, often contributing to the digital divide.

We will facilitate a live, in-person workshop in one site and broadcast it to additional courts. Using this platform, one legal assistant can support up to 50 people remotely through a single, live workshop that traditionally served significantly fewer participants.

Establish processes and systems to build the remote-access technology infrastructure.

Develop curricular materials to facilitate remote legal workshops that will be available via video conference to the 22 counties.

Design and build the platform that will set the foundation for litigants to video conference from their home via mobile devices and computers.

Promote the use of Document Assembly Programs and provide on-site coaching and training for staff.

Better prepared self-represented litigants in all areas of the legal process.
