The students and faculty at Brooklyn Law (through support from the Legal Technology Lab) initially created a scripted dialogue interface to help small businesses and entrepreneurs better understand the GDPR, and to figure out when they might run afoul of the GDPR (see learning tool at https://potkewitz.github.io/QnA/GDPR_Learner.html and letter tool at https://potkewitz.github.io/QnA/GDPR_Letter.html). The knowledge gained from building the rudimentary GDPR tool has subsequently been applied by more recent student teams (through a “Justice Lab”) to build chatbots, apps, sites scripting laws, regulations, and policies to help different constituencies, mostly vulnerable, marginalized communities and individuals without ready access to legal support to better understand their rights and responsibilities. Among the tools that Brooklyn Law students have built since the LTL GDPR project are projects designed to help vulnerable individuals with family law matters, workers’ rights issues (notably restaurant workers and sex workers), and access to government services.
