Homeless Veterans Benefit
by Tony Rushin
In Minnesota, homeless veterans recently used Skype and the courtroom video system to meet with / work with attorneys that could help them. This was set up by the Minnesota Justice Foundation and was aided by law student volunteers, as reported in the Legal Technology section of the ABA Journal.
I love it when technology is used in a simple, straight-forward way to help people. The article goes on to say that this program works great in a state like Minnesota where many counties are so lightly populated that they have 10 or fewer lawyers total (and they can’t do all of the pro bono work). Sounds like Georgia’s population density… I wonder if we could do something similar here?
