CAJT wins the 2008 Louis M. Brown Award for Legal Access

The ABA Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services has selected the Chicago-Kent College of Law Center for Access to Justice & Technology as the recipient of the 2008 Louis M. Brown Award for Legal Access. The Committee found the work of the Center to be an outstanding example of the practical application of technology to legal services in ways that create greater efficiencies and expand access to justice.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Center's projects. The Center was chosen for this accolade because of your work on the Student Editorial Board, your volunteer contributions to the Self Help Web Desk and because of the national prominence and effectiveness of the A2J Author initiative.
