Survey About this Website for Advocate Users

Posted on: 05/27/2011

Please go to the link below to complete a survey about how the website is working for you at this point in time. I need to file a report next week, and am testing out the webform function of the site. The webform function of the website seems to work at least as well as Survey Monkey, we may never need to use that website again!

Your Maryland Scenic Photo Here!

MDJustice needs window dressing!

I have been rotating photos on the front page, just to keep things interesting, but I live in Frederick, so many of the photos are local scenes. Lovely, but let's get some representation from across the state.

Information about deaf access to legal services

I was asked about whether we have the technology to meet the needs of deaf clients. This requires some research, which I am still in the process of doing. I have collected some very relevant materials which I am posting here.

Every advocate and employee who may interact with a deaf client should be reading these materials so that they are prepared before meeting with deaf clients.
