The newest episode of 5 in 5 from CDS and Relativity shines a light on a mission that reaches far beyond data, workflows, and the day-to-day demands of eDiscovery. In this edition, Chris O’Connor, Director of eDiscovery Strategy at CDS, sits down with Johnathan Hill, Global Community Engagement Lead at Relativity, to discuss the impact of Justice for Change, a program that is entering its fifth year of empowering organizations that fight for social justice. 

Justice for Change began during a moment of national reflection when leaders at Relativity asked a simple but transformative question: Why not provide advanced tools to the organizations that need them most? That idea evolved into a program built around access, equity, and meaningful community impact. For a deeper look at the impact of the program, check out a case CDS explored in a blog available here. 

In the episode, Johnathan explains how the program removes resource barriers by providing pro bono access to RelativityOne and powerful AI capabilities. These tools allow partners to bring greater clarity to large volumes of information, uncover essential insights, and move more efficiently through complex matters. As a result, partner organizations can focus on what matters most: expanding access to justice and supporting the communities they serve. 

The impact of Justice for Change is growing across the United States, the United Kingdom, and additional global regions as more law firms and nonprofits adopt AI driven approaches within their pro bono work. This shift reflects a broader movement within the legal industry where innovation strengthens the ability to serve vulnerable communities.
