In episode no. 67 I speak with Kate Briscoe, of LegalBeagles. The discussion covers: how Kate’s inability to get a job played a part in starting LegalBeagles; how LegalBeagles works today; the large numbers of threads and visitors to the site; the emerging areas of law covered by LegalBeagles; who the volunteers are, what training they undertake to assist on the platform and why Kate thinks they contribute; how LegalBeagles is filling a gap and providing assistance that isn’t being provided anywhere else including from the funded Citizens Advice Bureau; LegalBeagles’ governance structure and relationship with professional legal regulation; Kate’s views on how a lot of innovation initiatives put the “cart before the horse”; the many reasons it may not be appropriate to go to a lawyer; how machine learning is drawing on LegalBeagles’ employment law data to provide instant responses; various set-backs LegalBeagles has experienced including loss of a major partner; Kate’s thoughts on the role of the legal profession in addressing the justice crisis; sources of monetisation and sustainability of the platform; where legal consumers actually go for legal help and how they know who to trust; the link between litigation, health and justice; how the model is saving lives; and Kate’s definition of legal innovation.
