COVID-19 and the Law digital resource
Rapid development and launch of digital information to provide plain English information on legal rights during COVID-19.
About the project
Many areas of law were impacted by the government’s response to COVID-19. Community Law identified the need to rapidly provide user-friendly COVID specific, legal information for everyday people. Community Law Wellington and Hutt Valley worked with Citizen AI to develop a dynamic digital interface on the communitylaw.org.nz website providing interactive information in the form of frequently asked questions and answers about COVID-19 and the law.
