## About the Network

The LAJTC AI Champion Network brings together legal aid leaders who are actively promoting the responsible and practical use of AI in legal aid. Members share implementation lessons and community feedback, identify common needs, provide peer feedback on LAJTC resources, and help support thoughtful, ethical AI adoption across California’s legal aid community.
