Recently in the ResourcesforLegal SLACK started by Lori Gonzales, I noticed a moderator post that Hotshot (@hotshotlegal) was making its digital learning offerings available for free to law students and faculty. When I reached out to the company to see if they would consider making the same offer of free access to the legal aid, pro bono and A2J communities, I heard back immediately from Co-founder Ian Nelson. It was a resounding yes on Hotshot's part! Here are the details:
SHORT. ENGAGING. INTERACTIVE. ON-DEMAND.
