2018 Equal Justice Conference: Storytelling Through Digital Media

For the impoverished in need of legal services, their stories are often full of heartache. Lawyers can provide hope and guidance but they often don’t know how they can help. In this report from On The Road at the 2018 Equal Justice Conference, host Kimberly Sanchez talks to Eve Stotland, Angela Vigil, and Jeremy Addis-Mills about how to leverage digital media as a tool to guide conversation towards legal services for low income clients. They discuss what it looks like being an advocate and how to engage people using the social media platforms they are familiar with.

Jeremy Addis-Mills launched a consulting firm, Digital Impact, a full-service communications and electoral consulting and implementation firm with a specialty in telling the progressive story online.

Eve Stotland is the director of legal services at The Door. Each year The Door serves more than 10,000 young people with a wide range of legal services.

Angela Vigil is a partner and executive director of the Pro Bono Practice at Baker & McKenzie.
