A2J Author Project Manager Schedule for May

Hi all,

I will be attending the Equal Justice Conference in Minneapolis next week. As you may have noticed from Kate Bladow’s recent e-mail, I will be joining a couple of panels at the conference to discuss unique ways in which A2J Author can be implemented in your program. On Wednesday, May 7th at 1:30pm, I will join Debra Jennings, Judy Meadows, and Liz Keith to present “Lawyers Without Borders: Evolving Intake Systems and Models”; and, on Thursday, May 8th at 2:00pm I will join Kate Bladow, Kathleen Brockel, and Alison Paul to present “Using Technology to Advance Your Mission: Challenges and Opportunities for the Up-to-Date Legal Aid Law Firm.” We hope you can join us! (A complete schedule for the conference is located at https://www.abanet.org/legalservices/ejc/agenda_2008.html.) I look forward to seeing many of you next week!

Following the conference, I will be out of the office for two weeks (May 12 through May 27) for finals and again for 2-3 weeks in July for the bar exam. Many of your questions on A2J Author can now be answered by consulting our new and improved online guide, and the downloadable training materials. You can find these tools at the A2J Author Community Website at www.a2jauthor.org. If you have trouble or issues regarding how to use the software also consider using either the hotdocs listserv (hotdocs@lists.lstech.org) or the forums on the A2J Author Community Website (often times others in the community have had the same question and can provide the help you need.)

If you have feedback on the software, bug reports or enhancement requests, please continue to forward your responses using the “Send Feedback” button in the A2J Author software, which guarantees that both the project manager and the developers of the software at CALI receive a copy of your comments. Alternatively, you may continue sending e-mails to rmedina@kentlaw.edu. I will respond as soon as practicable on my return.

If you have an emergency, you may contact Ron Staudt at rstaudt@kentlaw.edu.

Best regards,

Rachel
