To meet the unique needs of all communities across our state, the kiosks have been customized for legal aid programs and their community partners. There are two basic kiosk models, one that is public-facing and one that requires a confidential setting.
All Kiosks
Computer
Both the Model A and the Model B kiosks have the same computer base. For more information on the model and specification, please refer to the user manual.
Software
Both the Model A and the Model B kiosks have the same software installed, ensuring security and consistency across devices, including:
- Program security by disabling USB drives, disk drives, network-based storage, and unauthorized user actions
- A secure environment by allowing limited IP addresses, URLs, and intended software functionality
- A centralized, cloud-based management console
- Splashtop: Remote connection software that facilitates remote work with legal services staff
- DeepFreeze: Kiosk software that will provide a customized user experience, limitations to usability for a secure environment, and a centralized, cloud-based management console

These kiosks connect users to civil legal information, self-help services, and statewide civil legal aid intake.
