Changed community standup meeting time
On Mondays the community gathers on Zoom to help each other solve problems and share best practices. Starting this month, the meetings are later in the day in order to better accommodate community members in the western US.
The new time is 1pm Eastern (12pm Central/11am Mountain/10am Pacific/9am Alaska/8am Hawaii).
The Zoom registration and meeting link is on the Standups tab in the General and Coding help channels in Teams.
New court and legal aid partners
The Document Assembly Line is growing and on track to meet our sustainability goal! We recently added two funded court partners:
- The Alaska Court System
- The Illinois Courts (through the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Access to Justice)
We also added two funded legal aid partners:
- Legal Services Vermont
- Legal Services State Support (Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid)
Our funded partnerships are now featured on the front page of the Document Assembly Line website.

We held one workshop since the last update:
You can view recordings of our workshops on the LIT Blog, and we’ve collected them in a playlist on our YouTube channel.

Interview-builder trainings
We held our first training sessions in March. We had a full house, covered a lot of ground, and got great feedback. The plan is to offer another training session in September.
