Reimagining Justice covers issues at the intersection of innovation, law and social justice and you will enjoy it if you’re someone who hopes to make a positive improvement to people’s experience of the law through new ways of thinking and doing.
In episode no. 67 I speak with Kate Briscoe, CEO and co-founder of LegalBeagles and JustBeagle. The discussion covers:
- how Kate’s inability to get a job played a part in starting LegalBeagles;
- how LegalBeagles works today;
- the large numbers of threads and visitors to the site;
- the emerging areas of law covered by LegalBeagles;
- who the volunteers are, what training they undertake to assist on the platform and why Kate thinks they contribute;
- how LegalBeagles is filling a gap and providing assistance that isn’t being provided anywhere else including from the funded Citizens Advice Bureau;
- LegalBeagles’ governance structure and relationship with professional legal regulation;
- Kate’s views on how a lot of innovation initiatives put the “cart before the horse”;
- the many reasons it may not be appropriate to go to a lawyer;
- how machine learning is drawing on LegalBeagles’ employment law data to provide instant responses;
- various set-backs LegalBeagles has experienced including loss of a major partner;
- Kate’s thoughts on the role of the legal profession in addressing the justice crisis;
- sources of monetisation and sustainability of the platform;
- where legal consumers actually go for legal help and how they know who to trust;
- the link between litigation, health and justice;
- how the model is saving lives; and
- Kate’s definition of legal innovation.
