What happens when citizenship can be taken away? Why are immigration detainees still struggling to access quality legal advice? And has legal aid been 'strangled by reform'? Host Sarah Henry sits down with Dr Ayesha Riaz to discuss her fascinating research on citizenship deprivation, immigration detention and the long decline of legal aid. Drawing on years of practice and academic research, Ayesha examines the consequences of government policy for lawyers, migrants and access to justice across the UK.   About Ayesha Riaz Ayesha has been working at the University of Greenwich since 2019. She worked as a part time teacher and taught undergraduate students law at the London School of Economics and Political Science for several years.

This episode of Talk Justice  explores an Ohio county's efforts to bring service providers together to ensure that families in crisis receive the help they need. The “No Wrong Door” model is already making big impacts in Washington County, Ohio, where the Family and Children First Council (WCFCFC) is building partnerships that raise awareness of community resources. Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio (LASCO) partners in the effort to help local families.

Executive Director Ann Kloeckner joins us to discuss the importance of protecting critical documents before and after a natural disaster. She shares practical tips on which records families should safeguard, how to store them securely, and what steps to take if important documents are lost or damaged during an emergency. Also joining the program is William & Mary Law student Riley Bowling, a Mountain View High School graduate who is spending the summer as a law clerk with LAW. Riley talks about her path to law school, the challenges and rewards of legal studies, and what it's like gaining hands-on experience in the legal profession. She also offers insight into the day-to-day life of a law student and her future career goals. Together, they provide valuable information about legal preparedness and the next generation of legal professionals.

For many Ohioans, navigating life's challenges depends on having access to the right support. On this episode, we're joined by the Ohio Access to Justice Foundation and Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio to discuss the role Legal Aid plays in serving communities and connecting Ohioans with critical legal resources.

The IADC Foundation supports organizations around the world that advance the rule of law and expand access to justice. In this special series, we sit down with leaders from Foundation grantee organizations to explore their missions, the communities they serve, and the real-world impact of their work. In this episode of IADC Speaks, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Crowell & Moring) speaks with Shikha Pandey (International Legal Foundation, Program Director, Asia) about ILF, a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding access to legal aid and quality criminal defense services in countries facing conflict, authoritarian rule, and systemic crises. Shikha shares her personal journey to ILF and discusses its mission to bridge gaps in justice systems, and the critical role skilled legal representation plays in protecting individual rights and strengthening communities. Through compelling stories and real examples, she illustrates how access to defense counsel can transform lives and why support from organizations such as the IADC Foundation is essential to advancing the rule of law. This conversation highlights how access to justice is not an abstract principle but a concrete necessity for people facing some of the world's most challenging circumstances.

Lawyers and civil liberty groups are urging the Minister for Justice to reconsider plans to introduce a new fee structure for Criminal Legal Aid cases in the District Courts. Our reporter Kate Egan has more on this.

We speak with attorney Meg Groff, whose memoir "Not if I Can Help It" recounts her experiences in the first years of her career (in the mid-1980s) when she was a Legal Aid attorney in rural Pennsylvania, working with mostly poor women who had been the target of domestic violence or abuse.

€123 million of taxpayers' money has been set aside for free legal aid this year… and Jeremy is raging. After hearing about a career criminal with 129 previous convictions back in court, he asks: why are we funding repeat offenders' defence, again and again? Adrian argues it's a constitutional right — access to justice and a fair trial, no matter who you are or what you earn. Jeremy wants a “three strikes and you're out” rule… while some callers go even further and say scrap legal aid altogether. From family law horror stories and massive legal bills, to “scrotes in tracksuits” and court translators, this one turns into an explosive, no-holds-barred debate.

Mike Stephen chats with Roya Samarghandi, chief advocacy and innovation officer at The Chicago Bar Foundation, about a new program that allows residents to get legal aid at their local library, explores the ongoing debate around public money for private schools with Chalkbeat Chicago's Reema Amin, and gets the lowdown on a local organization that helps youth enter the workforce called Leaders in Transformational Education from CEO Candace Thier.

Executive Director Ann Kloeckner sheds light on a critical gap in the legal system—civil cases where people facing serious issues like eviction, debt, or family matters are not guaranteed an attorney if they can't afford one. She explains how this reality impacts real lives and underscores the urgent need for accessible legal support. The conversation also dives into the broader housing crisis, examining why affordable housing is essential for stability, equity, and strong communities. Finally, she highlights practical efforts to bridge the justice gap, including the “Lawyer in the Library” program, offered on the first and third Tuesdays, and the upcoming “Know Your Rights as a Tenant” event on April 22.  legalaidwork.org

In this episode of Brutal Honesty, Nick Rowley continues his conversation with powerhouse trial lawyer Sean Claggett about what it actually means to stand for justice, not just in the courtroom, but in life.Sean breaks down his philosophy on social justice as a non-negotiable duty for trial lawyers, whether that's funding pro bono work, supporting organizations like Legal Aid, or committing a percentage of income to causes that protect access to justice, such as The Outer Realm and Justice Watch.What does it say about a lawyer who makes millions… but gives nothing back? The conversation goes deep into why material success without contribution is empty, how both lawyers have waived millions in fees to serve clients who needed it, and how leading by example creates a ripple effect across the plaintiff bar.Connect with Sean Claggett HEREConnect with Claggett & Sykes HEREConnect with Legal Aid of Southern Nevada HEREConnect with HELP of Southern Nevada HEREConnect with Justice Watch HEREConnect with The Outer Realm HEREThanks for tuning in to this episode of Brutal Honesty.

Meg Groff dedicated forty years of her life to fighting for justice for victims of domestic violence in rural and suburban Pennsylvania. Not If I Can Help It: A Family Lawyer's Battles for Justice for Victims of Domestic Violence and the Poor (Rivertowns Books, 2025)recounts some of the most harrowing, infuriating, yet inspiring stories from Groff's work as a Legal Aid attorney representing women and children whose only resource is the sheer courage they exhibit every day. Among others, you'll meet: Lacey, a penniless single mom whose multimillionaire in-laws sued for custody of her two young sons, only to find their high-priced attorneys outmaneuvered by the blue-jean-wearing Groff; Annette, who won two hard-fought family court cases with Groff's help before being savagely murdered by her husband-who then tried to legally force their four children to visit him weekly in prison; and Muriel, whose estranged husband stalked and threatened her with impunity, until Groff-with the connivance of an understanding judge-devised an imaginative plan for his comeuppance. Groff took an unconventional path to her legal career. After years as a hippie, subsisting on odd jobs with her carpenter husband, she finished college at age 37 and entered law school driven by a passion for justice. She became an activist attorney, applying innovative tactics no law school can teach to tackle the crises that poor moms and families constantly face, victimized by callous bureaucrats, indifferent police, bigoted judges, and unjust laws. Groff quickly came to admire the tenacity and bravery of the women who dared to stand up to their abusers-and often shared the same risks at the hands of the violent, angry men who held her responsible for their loss of familiar power. Against the odds, Groff won hundreds of exhilarating courtroom victories-and also suffered some heartbreaking defeats. In Not If I Can Help It, she brings these stories to life with vivid detail, deep empathy, surprising humor, and the boundless passion for justice that has driven her life and work. Readers who care about law, human rights, and the struggles of ordinary people will be captivated and inspired by this powerful book and the sobering insights it offers about the American way of justice.

The Columbian recently reported that Clark County recorded the highest rate of evictions per capita in Washington state for the third year in a row. In 2025, Clark County landlords filed 2,275 cases to evict tenants, an increase of roughly 33% since 2023.    Washington has passed legislation in recent years to help tenants, including a new law Governor Bob Ferguson signed last May that limits rent increases  to no more than 10% in a year. In 2021, Washington became the first state in the nation to establish a right to free legal counsel for low-income tenants facing eviction. But amid growing need and rising caseloads, the Washington State Office of Legal Aid is seeking $3 million in supplemental funding from lawmakers for the next fiscal year.    Mia Ryder-Marks is a reporter for The Columbian covering homelessness, affordable housing and veterans. She joins us for more details.

On the phone-in: Krista Forbes & Anna Mancini are lawyers from Nova Scotia Legal Aid. They answer listeners' questions about navigating the justice system. And off the top, we speak with professor Robert Huish about interprovincial trade barriers.

Sateesh Nori joins us on The Geek in Review for an episode that flips the usual legal innovation conversation away from law firm efficiency and toward survival-grade help for people stuck in housing courts and legal aid queues. They open with news from Sateesh himself, he has started a new role with LawDroid, working with Tom Martin, and he frames the mission in plain terms. Legal tech should stop orbiting lawyers and start serving the person with the problem, especially the person who does not even know where to begin.Sateesh traces his path into law through debate, literature, politics, and a desire to push back on a family tradition of medicine. He describes his work as a long, continuous pursuit of fairness rather than a single turning point, and he admits the early myth that drew many into the profession, the dream of dramatic courtroom advocacy. The conversation quickly lands on the core tension, the legal system sells itself as rule of law and due process, yet ordinary people experience confusion, delay, and closed doors.From there, Sateesh offers his critique of the current AI gold rush in legal. Too many products promise “faster horses” for lawyers, while the access to justice gap remains untouched because the real bottleneck sits upstream. People need early guidance, clear pathways, and tools that reduce friction before problems metastasize into crises. He argues for technology as “life-preserving tools,” not lawyer toys, and pushes the industry to center tenants, families, and workers navigating high-stakes issues without counsel.The episode gets concrete with Depositron, a tool Sateesh helped bring to life with LawDroid to help renters recover security deposits through a simple, mobile-friendly workflow. He shares back-of-the-napkin math showing how large the problem is in New York, and why small, focused tools matter at scale. Greg ties the theme to earlier Geek in Review conversations about courts as a service, with the reminder that users experience the justice system like a bureaucracy, not a public utility built for them.Finally, Sateesh expands the lens to systemic redesign, triage and intake failures, burnout in legal aid, and the hard truth that the current one-on-one model leaves most people unserved. He explores funding ideas ranging from public investment to small-fee consumer tools that sustain themselves, and he sketches future-facing concepts like AI-assisted dispute resolution to provide faster closure. In the crystal ball segment, he predicts a reckoning for the legal market as AI reshapes client expectations, with major implications for law students, staffing models, and the profession's sense of purpose.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Substack [Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LawDroidLawAnswers AIDepositronRoxanne AI (Housing Court Answers)Housing Court AnswersJosef Sateesh Nori, The Augmented Lawyer (Substack)Transcript

Quinten Steenhuis brings a builder's mindset to legal innovation, rooted in early Indymedia activism where scavenged hardware became community infrastructure. That scrappy origin story carries through a dozen years of eviction defense at Greater Boston Legal Services, with a steady focus on tools that help people solve problems without waiting for a savior in a suit. Along the way, Quinten also lived the unglamorous side of mission tech, keeping systems funded, supported, and usable when budgets get tight and priorities get loud.The conversation then jumps to Suffolk Law's approach to generative AI education, including a required learning track for first-year students. Quinten frames the track as foundational training, then points to a deeper bench of follow-on courses and the LIT Lab clinic where students build with real tools, real partners, and real stakes. The throughline stays consistent, exposure alone solves nothing, so Suffolk puts reps, projects, and practice behind the syllabus.A standout segment tackles the “vaporware semester” problem, where student-built prototypes fade out once finals end. The LIT Lab fights that decay by narrowing tool choices, standardizing around DocAssemble, and supervising work with a clinic-style model, staff stay close, quality stays high, and maintenance stays owned. Projects ship through CourtFormsOnline, with ongoing updates, volunteer support, and a commitment to keep public-facing legal help online for the long haul.Then the episode turns toward agentic workflows, with examples from Quinten's consulting work in Virginia and Oregon. One project uses voice-based intake to screen for eligibility, confirm location and income, gather the story in a person's own words, and route matters into usable categories. Another project speeds bar referral by replacing slow human triage with faster classification and better user interaction patterns, fewer walls of typing, more guided choices, more yes-or-no steps, and fewer dead ends.In the closing stretch, Quinten shares the sources feeding his learning loop, LinkedIn, Legal Services Corporation's Innovations conference, the LSNTAP mailing list, podcasts, and Bob Ambrogi's LawSites, plus the occasional spicy Reddit detour. The crystal ball lands on a thorny challenge for both academia and practice, training lawyers for judgment and verification when AI outputs land near-correct most of the time, then fail in the exact moment nobody expects. Quinten's bottom line feels blunt and optimistic at once, safe workflows matter, and the public already uses general chat tools for legal help, so the legal system needs harm-reducing alternatives that work.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Suffolk Lit LabLemma LegalPipe CatLinks (as shared by Quinten):Transcript

Legal technologists discuss a recent survey that found that legal aid attorneys are adopting AI at a faster rate than other legal professionals on Talk Justice. In May of 2025, Everlaw partnered with the National Legal Aid & Defender Association, Paladin and LawSites to conduct a survey of 112 legal aid professionals. The survey formed the basis of the report, “The AI Advantage: How Technology Can Help Bridge the Justice Gap,” which was published in September. It found that 74% of the legal aid organizations surveyed are already using AI in their work, which is double the generative AI adoption rate of the wider legal profession.

In the United States, over 90% of civil legal needs go unrepresented – a staggering justice gap that leaves millions of people facing eviction, domestic violence, wrongful conviction and other urgent legal crises without access to an attorney. For these individuals, the difference between getting legal help or going without can literally be the difference between safety and harm, between keeping a home and losing everything. One year ago, Thomson Reuters launched its AI for Justice program to help address this crisis by providing legal aid organizations with access to CoCounsel, its professional-grade AI legal assistant, along with specialized training and support. The results have been significant: attorneys are saving up to 15 hours per week, organizations are serving as many as 50% more clients daily, and urgent case materials are being prepared up to 75% faster. But more importantly, these efficiency gains are translating into real-world impact  – domestic violence victims receiving protection orders more quickly, wrongfully evicted tenants getting back into their homes before their possessions are destroyed, and innocent people in prison having their exoneration petitions filed years sooner. In this episode of LawNext, host Bob Ambrogi talks with two people at the forefront of this initiative:  Laura Safdie is head of innovation for legal at Thomson Reuters and has been championing access to justice through technology since her days at Casetext, where she was a cofounder.  Pablo Ramirez is executive director of the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino, a small organization of 45 staff members serving over 9,000 people a year in one of California's largest counties.  Together, they share powerful stories of how AI is enabling legal aid lawyers to be more efficient and more effective in doing what they came to this work to do – fighting for their clients.  They discuss the three pillars of the AI for Justice program  – access, support and scale  – and how Thomson Reuters is working to create a blueprint that can be replicated across the legal aid community. They also tackle the challenges that remain, from overcoming fear and skepticism about AI to reaching a highly disaggregated network of small, resource-strapped organizations. And they explore the bigger question: Can AI actually help close the justice gap, or are we just nibbling at the edges of an ever-growing problem?   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
