Open the profession.
Scale access to justice.
Three pillars,
one institution.
Our work connects who can enter the profession, how legal work gets done, and who can get help.
Pillar 01
Access to
the Profession
A legal career should be within reach of more people. We are developing non-traditional routes into the profession, including an apprenticeship pipeline.

Pillar 02
Legal Operations & Legal Engineering
Legal engineering brings legal practice, operations and code together. Our training for future legal professionals is in development.
Pillar 03
Technology That Scales Justice
Document preparation and workflow automation are part of the tech-enabled support we are developing to scale access to legal help. Lawyers stay at the center.
Trained like a craft.
Apprenticeship is how a craft is learned: watch, practice, sharpen, repeat.
FIG 01 · Patience
A form shaped over years, never rushed.
A model for access to justice.
Legal training and technology, built around California’s need.
Practical legal
and technology
training for
opportunity youth.
We’re developing a two-year apprenticeship to prepare future legal engineers for Legal Document Assistant registration and work that makes legal help more accessible.
Opening careers in law and technology to help people who lack the means to protect their rights.
Planning and design is currently funded by California’s Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards, through a $300,000 COYA Planning Grant.
The Need in California
Access to the Law.
Our model brings legal training and technology together to make legal help more accessible.
Shown as designed. The apprenticeship program would be implemented once registered with the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
