The Center for Access to Justice & Technology (CAJT) at Chicago-Kent College of Law, in partnership with the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI), has announced the release of A2J Author® 3.0.

A2J Author® is designed to create user-friendly interfaces that help self-represented litigants fill out court forms and other legal documents.

This latest version includes new features that allow designers to:

• add graphics and videos to questions;
• customize how users exit an interview and let them leave before an interview is completed;
• create new interviews by "cutting and pasting" existing questions or question sets; and
• add a logo to the interview.

You can download A2J Author® from the A2J Author community website. A2J Author® is free for noncommercial use.

If you are interested in learning more about the new features of A2J Author® 3.0, CAJT is offering an online training on the new release at four different times listed b. Sign up for one of the training sessions to get all the information you need to start creating guided interviews in A2J Author® 3.0 and ask any questions you might have.
