“Justice tech founders are changing lives and creating a new vision for the future of justice equity, but face an uphill battle hampered by lack of access to capital, difficulty with network penetration, and outmoded industry constraints,” explained JTA Executive Director Maya Markovich. “JTA provides crucial early-stage support to these visionary startups and we’re deeply honored that University of Arizona believes so strongly in not only our organization, but the nascent justice tech sector and the opportunity presented by technology - particularly generative AI - to level the playing field rather than exacerbate injustice.” From all of us at the JTA, we are honored to receive the inaugural Changemaker Award from the University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law, thank you. ✨ #accesstojustice #legalequity #techforgood #justicetech
The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law is pleased to announce Justice Technology Association (JTA) as the inaugural recipient of its Changemaker Award, an honor recognizing innovative leaders who advance access to justice through forward-thinking approaches in legal service delivery, technology, or policy reform. Established by the College’s Innovation for Justice program, the Changemaker Award celebrates impactful contributions from public and private law firms, nonprofit organizations, and government entities that are tackling pressing civil justice needs in their communities. The award was made possible through a generous contribution from University of Arizona Law alumnus Stephen Golden (’02). More on JTA and the Changemaker Award: https://bit.ly/3CATgVa
