How to Participate in the National Legal Aid Technology Report
What is the Interactive Tech Report?
In 2008, LSNTAP conducted a community-wide technology survey to showcase the software and hardware being used throughout the legal services community. The survey was divided into administrative and technical portions and NTAP received 56 responses for the technical survey and 42 for the admin survey. This interactive interface offers community members a way to:
- Find specific information about technology at other programs by reviewing the responses to the Technical and Administrative Surveys.
- Rate products and vendors serving the community and see the ratings others have given them.
Most importantly, though, the National Legal Aid Technology Report is an ongoing source of information about technology in the Legal Aid community.
