Best community based legal company UK 2021? Rev. Dane Marks and co-founders launch The Community Law Project UK Ltd to help people facing legal issues get support. Court statistics for England and Wales for the year 2019 have reported 4.2 million cases where 2.0 million from civil courts, 1.5 million from magistrates, 393,000 from tribunals, 266,000 from family courts and 104,000 from crown courts.
These statistics shows that the majority of the cases are civil and family cases and this high volume may tend to unnecessary amounts of outstanding cases, longer waiting times, costs to both the government and the parties who are present at the court. This shows the necessity of an advancement in the current court system with information technology and related solutions.
The co-founders, Rev. Dane Marks, Daniel Onafuwa and Samantha Yarwood and the genius and passionate team of Law Students and Graduates have come together to offer their support for minimal fees to assist people facing legal issues. The team will offer their support in helping compile evidence, draft case notes and find legal representation to support people in the poorest and most marginalised areas. They will also offer low cost support to law firms and barristers to enable them to focus on their cases.
Rev. Dane Marks explains, ‘since studying law and learning the issues of people facing legal problems and the problems the courts are having with the current backlogs, we will help in the best way we can.’
The Artificial Intelligence integration, dial-up integration, auto clerk function, mobile app integration and data collection function will keep the legal system updated and informed. Respective governments that enable this system’s use will identify the progression of their traditional plans, different areas to keep costs low and areas that need improvement with factual, up to date legal data at the touch of a button. Artificial Intelligence advancement will be a part of the platform for data upload of previous cases and how judges have decided in prior cases. AI will also be useful for quickly fixing errors, to prevent and alert regarding cyber-attacks. See additional info at Community Law Project UK.
