The Atlanta Legal Aid Society has landed a major grant from the Legal Services Corp. to both overhaul the state's self-help legal aid website and make it a national model for accessibility to people with disabilities.
The $134,720 grant to update GeorgiaLegalAid.org is one of 25 Technology Initiative Grants the federal legal aid funder awarded this year as part of a national initiative to make it easier for those seeking legal assistance to find it online.
“The grants make legal information, court forms, video instruction, and practical tips available to people who otherwise would have to navigate the legal system without any help,” said LSC president Jim Sandman in a statement.
