Stanford Law’s AI and Access to Justice Summit

By Giving List Staff   |   November 26, 2025

The Legal Link team was thrilled to attend Stanford Law’s AI and Access to Justice Summit in November 2025. We are especially grateful to our board member, Margaret Hagan, for expertly leading the summit.

This annual event, hosted by Stanford Legal Design Lab and with the theme “Building a Strong R&D Ecosystem,” — gathers people working on how rapidly advancing AI technology can empower more people to know their rights, access the justice system, and resolve legal problems that might otherwise spiral into major housing, financial, family, and health problems.

We were energized by the people-first approaches and global learnings from the UK and Australia.

Legal First Aid® training with Legal Link has helped me keep more families stably housed while transforming me as a professional. I’ve seen how sharing legal knowledge strengthens the power already within our clients, giving me hope we can transform how the law impacts low-income communities.
