Exploring the use of #legaltech to ⬆️ #A2J, especially through #MedLeg & #RestorativeJustice; thinking about #AIethics. Lawyer.

"Legal deserts" are a problem everywhere. This article points out that in North Carolina, half of the state’s counties meet the definition.

Illinois becomes the first state in the nation today to completely remove cash bail as a condition to be released ahead of a criminal trial. Here’s how the new system will work, with some questions yet to be answered. #cashbail #illinois #criminaljustice https://t.co/01xu6dtkOC

"Legal deserts" are an issue facing many #rural communities, with fewer than one attorney for every 1,000 residents in some areas.

LSC's Rural Justice Task Force is working to identify model programs and successful approaches to the problem. https://t.co/J1aAhJ7YW5

“Community schools” are similar to #MedLeg. One school offers #healthcare through a community clinic and plans to open a closet with clothing + toiletries, a laundry room for students to wash their clothes, and rent + utility assistance.

This is so important & as @ron_flagg says:
Disaster response involves so much more than physical repairs…#legalaid providers are integral in helping low-income families access vital resources.
Allowing out-of-state lawyers to offer legal services would also help.

Press Release—LSC is awarding $19.8 million to support legal aid response to disasters. #disasterrecovery #disasterprep

“Among co-workers, it appears easier to learn bad behavior than good.”
“…even your most honest employees become more likely to commit misconduct if they work alongside a dishonest individual.”

Deep learning & neural network models are “powerful but complex, difficult to implement, and require a lot of expertise” that many #health systems don't have. So it’s good news that natural language processing can measure social determinants of health!

Immediate referrals to #MLPs are associated with lower stress and a lower rate of ED visits.

Winston Liaw, MD, MPH, and colleagues explore the effects of MLPs on mental health, health care utilization, and quality of life.

Great ideas for those in the legal field who are concerned that #ChatGPT could replace them:
For now, you can remain indispensable by keeping mindful of #cybersecurity, engaging with clients empathetically, being aware of “prompt engineering.”

“The increased costs of child care and lack of access to it is causing increased strain for caregivers and working parents nationwide…[so] some states have begun taking steps to address child care challenges.” Seems like an issue that #MedLeg could help address.
#SDoH #A2J

[PBS News @NewsHour]

The cost of child care has increased 220% in the last three decades, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization that has tracked this and other issues around child well-being. https://t.co/ZAFQLdXOwb

New generations of workers, who are more accustomed to #virtual work since much of their schooling was #remotework, “do not see value in the punishing commutes their Gen X parents suffered.”
#FutureOfWork #jobs

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Many workers don’t want to go back to the office. Plenty of bosses say they should. The result is a stalemate. "Why in the world would I go back to the office?" https://t.co/tK0jwusPpf

[Shelly C. Skinner @ShellyChattS]

Many economic sectors suffer when people work from home, e.g., public transit, toll roads, fuel + fuel taxes, 🚙 maintenance, 🐩 walkers, & commercial real estate.
But people who do #remotework aren’t obligated to prop up an office-centric economy.

“Code Interpreter has turned GPT into a first-rate data analyst.... capable of independently looking at a dataset, figuring out what is interesting, developing an analytical strategy, cleaning #data, testing its strategy, adjusting to errors, and offering advice.” #legaltech #AI

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Everyone who subscribes to ChatGPT Plus is apparently going to get Code Interpreter in the next week. It is the mode of AI that I find both most promising, interesting, and unnerving.
