The Innovations in Technology Conference (ITC) is an annual event organized by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) to explore and promote technological advancements that enhance access to justice for low-income individuals. In 2024, the conference was held from February 1 to February 3 in Charlotte, North Carolina, marking the largest in-person gathering in its history with over 700 attendees from 49 states, four U.S. territories, and Canada.
The conference featured more than 50 workshops covering a wide array of topics, including artificial intelligence (AI), impact measurement tools, court technology innovations, cybersecurity, and virtual legal assistance models. Notably, the keynote address was delivered by Elise Roy, a deaf human-centered designer and former lawyer, who shared insights on inclusive design and innovation.
In addition to the sessions, the conference provided ample networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with peers, share best practices, and collaborate on future projects. The event attracted a diverse audience comprising technologists, legal aid advocates, court personnel, pro bono coordinators, and other professionals dedicated to leveraging technology to improve legal services for underserved communities.
