Abstract
Our research identified an unserved niche within the legal technology marketplace. We observed that there was no comprehensive system for lawyers to connect with each other externally in a secure environment that would help them build a professional network of colleagues across the U.S. and even around the world. Our interactive website is intended to provide a LinkedIn-style community specifically for lawyers and is not for access by the general public. Our poster will feature a demonstration of the current iteration of the Gaggle on the Gavel website, including our logo, as well as provide diagrams of the interaction flow within the website and the results of a focus group we conducted on our efforts to design an online community for lawyers.
