Nevada

Nevada’s Legal Kiosk Project grew out of an effort by the state’s five leading legal aid providers, including Nevada Legal Services (NLS), to address the digital divide exposed by COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately affected communities, especially seniors, that lack the means to use technology to access the legal system. As underserved communities often seek legal information at their local libraries, placing the free Legal Kiosks in libraries throughout the state provides a needed resource for library staff  and the people they serve. NLS took the lead in obtaining grant funding for and developing the Project. The Legal Kiosks are designed to be a user-friendly portal for Nevadans to learn about civil legal issues, find court information and forms, access legal aid providers, and locate community resources.
