It’s that time of year again; the school year has started and students are busy reading, writing, and researching as they return to their studies after summer break. A new cohort of i4J students have been welcomed into the fold and have started working to help i4J make an impact in the civil justice system. Since 2018, i4J has been on the cutting edge of innovation by designing and testing disruptive solutions in several civil justice systems. Among these solutions, i4J has been a leader in the the regulatory reform movement by launching a Licensed Legal Advocate (LLA) program empowering non-lawyer advocates to provide limited-scope legal advice to domestic violence survivors in Arizona and Medical Debt Legal Advocate (MDLA) programs empowering non-lawyer advocates to give limited-scope legal advice to those experiencing medical debt in Utah.
