Ep 270: How One Legal Tech Company Is Donating Its Software To Pursue Justice In Atrocity Crimes

Everlaw for Good is a program run by the e-discovery company Everlaw, through which it makes its software available at no cost to legal aid organizations, nonprofit organizations, and investigative journalists. 

One beneficiary of that program is the Center for Justice and Accountability, a human rights nonprofit that works to seek justice on behalf of victims of atrocity crimes, including torture, genocide, and war crimes. At the recent Everlaw Summit, the CJA’s work using the Everlaw platform was honored with the Everlaw for Good award. 

LawNext host Bob Ambrogi was at the summit, which was held in San Francisco in October, and he had the opportunity to sit down to record this conversation with two of the CJA’s lawyers, along with the director of the Everlaw for Good program. Today’s guests are:

• Claret Vargas, senior staff attorney at CJA. 

• Daniel McLaughlin, senior staff attorney at CJA.

• Joanne Sprague, director of Everlaw for Good. 

They discuss the Everlaw for Good program and the specific impact it has had on CJA’s work.
