Jim Harbaugh
Don’t expect to see a lot about legal tech on his Twitter, it’s mostly football. But Michigan Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh has been using his reach to help close the justice gap. He advocated through most of the last year on behalf of Legal Services Corporation (LSC), an independent nonprofit established by Congress in 1974 to provide financial support for civil legal aid to low-income Americans. His interest in access to justice stems from his friendship with a prominent Chicago attorney. Jim argues that all Americans should care about equal access to justice and he has advocated for full funding for LSC. From hosting access to justice events to working as a clerk in a Michigan Court, Coach Harbaugh is taking time to raise awareness about the crucial importance of increasing access to legal services.
