University of California: Berkeley and Irvine law schools: Pro Se Indigent Litigant Research Program.

Abstract

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. The University of California comprises 10 campuses, located at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. The University of California operates law schools at campuses in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. This bill would request the regents to enact, no later than July 1, 2021, a resolution to authorize the university's Berkeley and Irvine law schools, in consultation with the superior courts of the Counties of Alameda and Orange, respectively, to participate in a research program to develop artificial intelligence or machine-learning solutions to address issues of access to justice faced by pro se indigent litigants who are residents of those counties. The bill would require each participating law school, no later than March 31, 2024, to submit to specified public officials copies of a report including its findings and recommendations relating to the goals, challenges, successes, and potential areas of growth and development with respect to the research program.
