Mission Briefing
Tech Justice Law needed a website that could do more than post updates. They needed a place to organize fast-moving litigation and make complex legal work easier to follow for the public, press, and policy audiences.
For this project, we designed and built a custom WordPress site with a dynamic litigation tracker, so the team could publish quickly while keeping information clear and well organized.
Deliverables
- Refreshed Brand and Logo
- Tagline Development
- Website Design & Development
- Litigation Tracker
- Content Migration & Taxonomy Cleanup
Audience Profile
The TJL site was built for three key audiences:
- Journalists, researchers, and policy advocates who need fast access to litigation context and source materials
- Community members and impacted families looking for clear, readable updates on active cases
- Internal editorial and legal teams who need a reliable publishing workflow for high-volume, high-urgency updates
Orbital Analysis
We rebuilt the site as a custom WordPress block theme so the TJL team could move quickly without losing structure. We organized multiple content types (press releases, announcements, court cases, press mentions, commentary, and resources) into one unified feed with sorting that helps people find what they need faster.
For legal content, we created a dedicated court case experience with:
- A plain-language “What’s at Stake” section
- Key case details (status, location, and latest update)
- Linked legal documents
- Relevant press coverage links
- Related updates and commentary
A major part of the build was the Litigation Tracker. Behind the scenes, it pulls data from Google Sheets and standardizes it automatically before publishing. On the site, people can switch between US and International views, filter by topic, search by keyword, open detailed records, and export the data as CSV. We also surface summary metrics and maintainer information, while keeping the tracker fast and stable as new updates come in.
To support day-to-day publishing, we added practical editorial improvements, including focal-point controls for featured images, sticky post support across key content types, and migration scripts to move legacy content into the new taxonomy for the site.
The result is a mission-driven publishing platform that helps TJL share legal work more clearly, update quickly, and make litigation data easier to access for the people who rely on it.
