LAWYERPP is a web and mobile app which facilitates access to justice by equipping lawyers with the tools to run virtual law firms from their smartphones or personal computers.
LAWYERPP is a lifestyle app built around the ordinary person and his everyday need for security and peace of mind for self and family in an increasingly restive and polarised society. Its Panic Button functionality also ensures that ordinary persons get help as quickly as possible from next of kin and lawyers within close proximity in emergency situations (such as anticipated or ongoing arrests, crimes, accidents, medical emergencies, etc.). The app also contains a widget which can be placed on the user's homescreen, and which, when activated, transmits their location and a live audio of their surroundings to their next of kin and lawyers within close proximity, to enable recipients of the Panic Alert know how best to respond.
LAWYERPP also levels the playing field for lawyers, irrespective of their location and year of admission into the legal profession, by offering them equal access to requests for legal services and leaving the trajectory of their law practices simply to their ability to constantly evolve, remain professionally attractive, and appropriately negotiate with potential clients. In brief, some of the issues LAWYERPP addresses are:
• Access to justice;
• Quick reportage of human rights abuses and incidences of sexual harassment;
• Dearth of emergency response services; and
• The unemployment problem within the legal services industry
