Shared infrastructure for the access to justice sector — so legal aid organizations, courts, and technology partners can build better AI together, instead of reinventing the wheel alone.
The Legal Help Commons organizes shared resources around three complementary pillars — discovery, implementation, and community. An R&D discovery platform cataloging AI projects, a formal task taxonomy, datasets, benchmarks, guides, and orientation resources for anyone entering the justice AI landscape. Reference architectures, implementation playbooks, proven code and classifiers, RFP templates, cost models, evaluation rubrics, API connections, and design pattern libraries. Working groups around specific workflows, public interest tech courses and groups, justice professional networks, and peer-learning programs connecting those building, stewarding, evaluating, and scaling new solutions.
A multi-disciplinary research network linking philosophers, social scientists, computer scientists, legal scholars, and technologists.
