Our Mission

The Mission of ATJustice is to increase access to justice for ordinary people by leveraging technology, communications, and qualified lawyers to make legal services more available and affordable for everyone.

The ways we will do this include:

  • Creating a free legal directory to help consumers find  and retain qualified lawyers and other legal professionals in most or all legal practice areas across most or all U.S. legal jurisdictions;

  • Developing technology, including AI-based technology, that can help clients obtain high quality legal assistance at lower cost, while still keeping qualified lawyers in the loop;

  • Providing connections between legal professionals who are willing to provide pro bono (free or reduced cost) legal services, and clients in need of such services;

  • Developing "Fair Business Standards" for consumer-facing companies, and incentivizing businesses to commit to those standards;

  • Developing a free public database to report unethical or abusive conduct by consumer-facing businesses and incentivizing those businesses to provide fair remedies;

  • Developing or identifying anti-fraud and data protection resources, as well as legal information resources and making those resources easily accessible to consumers;

  • Developing a low cost, fast, and user friendly technology-enabled means of efficiently and fairly resolving disputes, including disputes that may not have enough money at issue to justify incurring the costs of traditional litigation or existing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms;

  • Making the above resources readily available and accessible to the public through the ATJustice.org website and through a free app downloadable to smartphones and personal digital assistants; 

  • Supporting other access to justice organizations, including non-profit organizations, dedicated to improving access to needed legal services.
