What's the underlying tech aspect of this tool?

  Hey, I'm Konstantin, CTO of Juris. Thanks for the question bjones! DebtSettle is powered by Juris, which is a web application that offers a combination of document assembly and case-management type tools to streamline legal processes and correspondences that already have a clearly defined legal framework in place afforded by the governing laws. Think TurboTax, but for repeatable legal processes. In the case of DebtSettle, the legal framework is spelled out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Juris' tools parallel this framework technologically by allowing users to directly draft legally sound correspondences, deliver them in a provable manner, and then act appropriately depending on the letter's outcome. Streamlining this repeatable process makes it accessible to millions more than the current legal system can handle. We also recognize that there are socially minded organizations out there that are working to make these same legal affordances accessible to the people they are meant to protect, so we have a professional dashboard in BETA that we hope will give these organizations an excalibur when dealing with frustrating debt collection cases. In short, the law tells us what we CAN do, but not necessarily HOW to do it. With Juris, we're using technology to build out the HOW.
