Press Release Body: Reston, Va., [September 25, 2008] Applied Knowledge Group, Inc. (AKG) has been engaged to provide SharePoint support and provide a blended learning solution for users in the Virginia Bar Association’s Model Judiciary Program’s Young Lawyers Division. In addition to technical expertise and training development and delivery, AKG will also provide hosting services for the Model Judiciary Program’s SharePoint implementation.
The purpose of the SharePoint implementation is to create a virtual work environment that will enable its more than 300 widely dispersed participants including students, teachers, regional coordinators, advisors and judges to easily collaborate across its five Virginia regions. The Model Judiciary Program enables Virginia’s youth to learn about the Virginia legal system by having them participate in mock trials and hearings under the guidance of a volunteer group of legal experts. Any public or private school in Virginia can participate in this program.
Pamela Harris-Vet, AKG’s Director of Professional Services, noted “We are proud to be able to work with this fine organization and support their efforts to help educate teens about the Virginia legal system. This SharePoint implementation provides them an easy-to-use tool that will extend their capabilities to encourage young people to become involved in the legal profession.”
