The #LANCMobile is on the road this week, bringing legal assistance to several communities in Western NC! Kudos to the Legal Aid of North Carolina team for making this initiative a reality. According to the Legal Services Corporation’s most recent Justice Gap Report, 92% of reported civil legal problems experienced by low-income Americans received inadequate or no legal help. These staggering numbers are consistent with local studies, and approximately two million people are eligible for Legal Aid of North Carolina’s services. However, they cannot access them due to geographical barriers. This is where the LANCMobile arrives to bridge the justice gap by bringing new resources directly to underserved communities. Beyond providing access to existing critical programs, the LANCMobile is an important part of the Legal Aid of North Carolina Innovation Lab's strategy. The team says it best: “LANCMobile is more than just providing legal services; it’s about eliminating barriers to justice access. Through data-driven strategies, LANC and its Innovation Lab will identify rural communities most in need and devise tailored solutions to overcome communication, infrastructure, and service accessibility challenges. LANCMobile aims to facilitate client intake, referrals, legal advice, representation, outreach, and education in areas where legal aid is scarce.” 👉 To learn more about the LANCMobile, upcoming events, and to get in contact about collaborating, go here: https://lnkd.in/gK757RTd 👉 To learn more about the Legal Aid Innovation Lab, go here: https://lnkd.in/gi5BQ4BU #AccessToJustice #A2J #Innovation #LegalTech #legaldeserts #ruralaccess #makelawbetter
