Through her work with Justice for Change, Jaclyn helped provide the Washington Lawyers' Committee with access to Relativity's tools for their investigation into the D.C.

The findings sparked media discussion and policy proposals to address the database's fundamental flaws and reduce its racially disparate impact. She also partnered with the Innocence Project, who used Relativity's ediscovery tools and experience to help exonerate an individual wrongfully incarcerated for 23 years. This collaboration involved si f ti n g th ro u g h 10 0 b a n ke r b oxe s of m ate r i a l s to f i n d key documents that supported innocence claims, ultimately leading to exoneration.
