Drupal for Legal Aid Websites

OpenAdvocate is built using DLAW 2.0, an open source website management system for legal aid websites. DLAW is built using the Drupal content management framework. DLAW is developed and maintained by Urban Insight in collaboration with Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project (LSNTAP), Idaho Legal Aid Services (ILAS) and several legal aid organizations. Development of the DLAW was funded through a Legal Service Corporation (LSC) Technology Initiative Grant.

To get the latest DLAW 2.0 release, you will need to have svn, drush and drush_make installed.

cd sites/default
cp default.settings.php settings.php
