There is an article in the American Lawyer, which describes the anticipated announcement at this event of a $1 million contribution from Microsoft to the LSC Portal Project, which was conceived at the last Access to Justice Technology Summit, and which is to be developed in partnership with Pro Bono Net.

“This $1 million dollars from Microsoft is a godsend,” said [LSC President Jim] Sandman, who added that the company will also provide technical assistance and project management. The first programs to be funded will be selected through a competitive application process, and Sandman hopes they’re operating within two years.
