Law and Logic.
Last month, I was in Turin, Italy to present a paper about Lemma Legal’s work on legal intake, covering a tool we built to help Virginia Legal Aid Society, Louisiana’s statewide legal help navigator, and Oregon State Bar’s Lawyer Referral Service. I also helped run a workshop on AI and Access to Justice. (By the […]
Lemma owner Quinten Steenhuis recently wrote about a project to make it easier to edit Docassemble interviews in a guided, graphical process, without the tradeoffs of tools like Gavel, AfterPattern, ClioDraft, and similar tools. Highlights: In this post, Quinten introduces the next generation of Weaver — a new visual editor for Docassemble that blends no-code […]
Lemma’s new WorkflowDocs product brings together the power of LegalServer’s case management data, Docassemble, and four core features for one low, monthly price:
We’re building a phone-intake AI voice bot that is connected for Virginia Legal Aid Society (VLAS) with Twilio, Pipecat, and FastAPI (Github). Without proper safeguards, this system could be exploited by attackers who go after our backend directly.

I’ve been reading a lot about Google Gemini’s new AI language model, version 2 (currently in an experimental release), so I decided to try building something with it. One of the best features of Flash is how it’s priced–users get 1,500 queries per day free, with up to 1 million tokens (a token is about […]

As part of the project, we built an experimental intake screening tool that combines simple rules with GPT-4 to help users find out if they qualify for help before they call the program staff. […]
In August 2022, buses from the southern border[1] brought an influx of migrants to Chicago, mostly from the Caribbean, Central, and South America. The Resurrection project (TRP) was ready to help, but its resources for one-on-one assistance were already stretched thin. For more than 30 years, TRP has provided community-based services for a mostly immigrant […]

She dove right in to help us deliver the tenant solutions at https://motenanthelp.org and has hit the ground running with Docassemble. Kelly is based […]
