LSC's Technology Initiative Grant (TIG) Program was established in 2000 with the goal of expanding access to justice through promoting technological innovations in legal services delivery and pro se assistance. Each year the TIG Conference brings together technologists, legal aid advocates, court personnel and academics to exchange ideas and explore innovative ways of using technology to promote full access and high-quality legal representation for low-income people.
