EFF Launches Cooperating Techs Listserv July 29, 2005
Service Will Connect Technologists with Civil Liberties Cases
Are you a technologist interested in helping out on civil liberties
cases? Are you an attorney looking for some help understanding
technical issues in lawsuits? EFF is setting up a listserv to help
connect technologists to attorneys on cases that are core to EFF's
mission but beyond what we can handle in-house.
Over the years, EFF has connected hundreds of tech-savvy lawyers with
potential clients through our Cooperating Attorneys listserv. This has
worked so well, we thought we'd provide the same service for those who
need technical assistance on litigation and civil liberties issues.
Here's how the Cooperating Techs list will work: Attorneys needing
technical assistance on cases will contact us and let us know what
kind of help they need and whether they can pay. After we receive the
request and determine if it is appropriate for our list, we'll post a
note to the list with a basic description of the project. (For
example: "CA attorney needs a tech familiar with Microsoft Exchange
servers to assist in recovering allegedly deleted email messages
needed for lawsuit. Can pay reduced fee.")
If you're on the list and are qualified and interested, you contact
us, and we'll connect you to the attorney. That's it. EFF won't
investigate or vouch for either side -- we don't have those kinds of
resources. We'll simply provide the connection.
Interested in being an Cooperating Tech? Send a note to
cooptechs at eff.org with your name, email address, and the city/state in
which you reside, and we'll add you to the list. If you're an attorney
facing a tech civil liberties issue and could use some technical help,
send a note to techhelp at eff.org, and we'll try to help you find
someone.
