tech requirements for hosting Docassemble interviews
by Lisa Boddington - SUPCRTX 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Hello everyone, I recently came across this program while at the LSC ITC last week. I work for Maricopa County Superior Court and create the forms/automated systems for the Court. We are currently looking into alternatives for automated doc assembly programs other than our current program. In order for this to be presented to the higher-ups, they would want to know the cost associated with the program, as that was an issue we ran into with A2J Author and having to host with LHI and hotdocs. I would need to know what the tech requirements would be for hosting this program and any suggestions for platforms that other people have used with success and estimated cost. Any and all information/advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you! Lisa Lisa Boddington, Esq. Legal Forms Production Coordinator Law Library Resource Center Maricopa County Superior Court 101 W. Jefferson St. Phoenix, AZ 85003 (602) 506-3462

Fwd: FW: Bar Regulation of Online Document Providers/On-Line Document Assembly Companies
by Jonathan Pyle 13 Dec '18

Docassemble mailing list -- If you use Docassemble for legal interviews in the United States, you may be interested in this e-mail below from Richard Granat (of DirectLaw.com and other projects). It talks about recent efforts to regulate on-line document assembly providers. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Richard Granat <rich(a)granat.com> Date: Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 2:00 PM Subject: FW: Bar Regulation of Online Document Providers/On-Line Document Assembly Companies To: <jhpyle(a)gmail.com> Cc: <tom(a)responsivelaw.org> HI Jonathan: I hope you are well. I wanted to make you aware of recent developments by the organized bar to regulate or prescribe “best practices’ for legal document providers and online document assembly companies. I have made my views known here: https://www.richardgranat.com/single-post/2018/07/20/Online-Legal-Document-… Attached to this email is the most recent proposal for a resolution to be passed by the ABA House of Delegates at their mid-year meeting and a proposed regulation from Washington State which is now open for comment. Yesterday I gave a briefing to the LSC Advisory Committee to the LHI team about these developments, and the plan is to have a follow-up meeting to frame a response at the tech conference in New Orleans in January which you should participate in (If you are attending you should participate and Jane will likely send you an invitation). A number of ABA Sections are framing a response to the New York State approach and will object to it formally, including the Center for Professional Responsibility, the ABA Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services (if which I am a member), and the Law Practice Division of the Aba (I am also on the Council for this group). (See ABA Letter attached to New York State Bar). These developments affect the future development of your organization/company. For example. The requirement that a document provider waive the “as is” warranty will in my opinion dry up venture capital investment in legal technology companys and insurance companies will refuse to provide Internet liability insurance to software provider’s unless there is an “as is” warranty in place. The “class action” access for consumers is troubling as I can see lawyers organizing class action suits against potential competitors such as www.hellodivorce.com . http://www.uslegalforms.,com, http://www.rocketlawyer.com and others. The “resistance” by document assembly companies and form providers in the private sector is being organized by Tom Gordon from www.responsivelaw.org – the consumer’s voice in the legal system – so by this email I am introducing you to Tom Gordon. Tom meet Johnathan Pyle the developer of https://docassemble.org/. *Also could you forward this email with its attachments to some of users as they will be affected by these developments.* Regards and thank you.
