BYU students work to help with debt collection lawsuits

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A class of law students at Brigham Young University is working to help Utah residents with their debt collection lawsuits.

KUER-FM radio reports Salt Lake City lawyer Kimball Parker is leading the group of nine students in a semester-long project to work on a technology solution that can provide legal assistance free of charge.

The group, called LawX, wants to get free, easily accessible legal help to those who are facing a debt lawsuit.

The details of the technology solution won’t be released until next year, but it should be available to the public soon.
