Nonprofit organizations are on the frontlines of some of the world’s most complex legal challenges yet only have a fraction of the resources of their larger for-profit counterparts. Everlaw works with nonprofits to help alleviate the burden of limited resources and to provide fact-finding tools for promoting justice.
Promoting justice involves increasing its accessibility. Everlaw supports the civic importance of offering legal aid to underserved members of society. That is why we are proud to provide our platform to pro bono lawyers and programs in law firms of all sizes. As we empower pro bono lawyers, we help to bridge the justice gap in the legal sector.
Journalists need the best investigative tools to dig through documents, locate key pieces of information, and weave them into stories. No matter the document type – whether emails, audio/video files, or PDFs – journalists can use Everlaw to connect the dots. Everlaw also enables journalists to work with their teams in real time – from wherever they are.
Lack of ediscovery technology education in law school can impact efficacy in the courtroom. Aspiring lawyers and legal technology professionals use Everlaw to supplement and enhance their ediscovery knowledge, before even starting in the workforce. Additionally, university-sponsored law clinics utilize our tools while providing legal services to clients.
To keep up with the exponential growth of criminal discoverable data and rapid pace of change in communication and other digital evidence produced by the USG, Everlaw offers a more intuitive and modern ediscovery experience. Through the Everlaw for CJA program, Criminal Justice Act Panel Attorneys can do more for their clients who can not afford their own representation, and help to level the playing field to illuminate the truth.
