“I’d like to see the world’s best entrepreneurs, technologists and designers focus on problems that affect ordinary people facing real day-to-day challenges,” Laura Safdie said in a recent profile. While working as a clerk in the Southern District of New York, Laura saw firsthand how access to better research tools is directly correlated to just outcomes. Laura believes access to knowledge is the crux of effective representation, which is why she helped to champion CARA, Casetext’s collaborative AI research assistant tool, and made it free to civil rights attorneys engaged in pro bono litigation through 2017. Now, with Laura’s guidance, CARA is expanding to every aspect of Casetext, and works beyond the brief. It’s encouraging to know Laura and the Casetext team are not only focused on innovation, but lifting up everyone that pursues justice through law.
