What We Do

The Office of Legal Services Innovation, a division of the Utah Supreme Court, is authorized to oversee the Utah legal Sandbox for new and innovative legal business models and services.  The Office will accept and review applicants to the Sandbox and make recommendations to the Supreme Court as to those applicants to be approved to offer legal services within the Sandbox.

It was created in Autumn 2019 to work on the proposals in the August 2019 report on “Narrowing the Access-to-Justice Gap by Reimagining Regulation”. Its goal is to optimize the regulatory structure for the legal services market, in order to increase the access and affordability of legal services. It is taking a data-driven, risk-oriented approach, that also allows for new innovative models to be tried out in a controlled Regulatory Sandbox.
