On Oct. 19, the California State Bar announced the creation of the Task Force on Access Through Innovation of Legal Services, a task force prompted to bridge access to justice through technology usage and regulation changes. The task force was created, said California State Bar program director Rebecca Farmer, to provide low- and moderate-income Californians and those living in rural areas with more legal services.

Farmer said the task force’s initiatives could vary, but it would examine regulation changes in law firm ownership and how legal services can be provided through technology, including automation, online legal models and artificial intelligence. This expertise, she highlighted, could be better understood by the tech community members and non-lawyers on the task force.
