Access to Justice.

at scale.

Our Mission

Philosophy

Lagniappe Law Lab’s purpose is to narrow the Access to Justice Gap by ensuring the Louisiana civil justice system is operating at its full potential.

Through the use of technology, design thinking, and operations principles, Lagniappe Law Lab aims to put people at the center of the legal process, bringing a more streamlined legal service experience to Louisiana’s underprivileged populations.

What We Do

Service Delivery Consulting

Using business and legal operations principles to improve the way legal service organizations deliver their services.

Project Management

Supporting the design, development, and implementation of civil legal aid technology in the ATJ ecosystem.

Program Maintenance + Governance

Providing governance and maintenance to pre-existing Access to Justice technology projects + programs.

Why It Matters

Empowerment.

Almost 50% of civil legal needs in Louisiana are unmet. A thoughtful combination of people, process, and technology can help bridge the gap.

Sustainability.

Centralized efforts focused on long-term success means a more sustainable and integrated legal aid technology ecosystem.
