Community Resources
The Project is hoping this page will provide ways for members of the equal
justice community to interact and collaborate
Directories
A number of programs are developing searchable databases of important legal services
delivery information. AARP and legalhotlines.org have created two such directories on
on the legalhotlines.org website. There is
a directory of Pro Se Delivery
Services indexing 411 pro se services by state, legal subject matter, and delivery
system (e.g., pamphlets, video, internet, kiosk, etc.). There is also a
Legal Hotline Directory
indexing 157 legal hotline programs by state, service area, funding sources, client
profile, hotline type and software.
E-Mail Lists
Sometimes called “listservs” after an early e-mail
proprietary software program, these lists enable groups of people with shared
interests to e-mail to the entire group, without the need for each individual
to maintain and update an individual mailing list.
There are a number of such lists in the equal justice community. For all
these lists, members are screened to ensure that they are joining the appropriate
list. On most of these lists, once you sign up for the list, you have the
option of receiving individual postings in your mail in-box, receiving a once-a-day
digest or postings, or simply viewing the postings on the web whenever you
choose.
- Legal
Services Technology List (sometimes called LS-TECH): This list
is for anyone who is interested in how new technologies can help increase
access to justice. It is for managers, techies,
or anyone else with an interest in the topic.

client population, such as youth or seniors, or relates to management and
fundraising issues.

or regional organization providing support to legal aid providers.
