MEMPHIS, TN—The law firm of Baker Donelson has announced a renewed commitment to the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Free Legal Answers (FLA), a virtual legal advice clinic, with a major investment of financial and technology resources that will ensure the tool continues to increase access to advice and information about non-criminal legal matters for those who cannot afford a lawyer. This major reinvestment marks ABA’s continuing partnership with Baker Donelson, which originally created the FLA platform in 2010 and has provided ongoing financial and technological support.
Through this renewed partnership, three Baker Donelson technicians will work over a period of six months to rewrite and update the code for FLA while also improving the data security of the website. The Firm is also making a $250,000 donation to ensure the ABA has the resources to further develop and maintain this next-generation version of FLA.
