Abstract: Profit-oriented legal technology providers are gaining in importance in various fields of law. In social law, they offer automated support when entering objections and complaints or with law suits against the social administration regarding social benefits for jobless, elderly or sick persons. With this, legal technology providers explicitly claim to facilitate law enforcement for “politically weak” persons who are seen as potentially incapable of doing so by themselves. In doing so, these digital legal service providers are entering a policy field with long-established civil society actors and institutions who offer social and legal support. Against this background the article examines the self-proclaimed “Advocates of the Weak” on the basis of empirical research. Legal support for the “politically weak” as put forward by legal technology providers is examined. This analysis pursues the question of how support for the “politically weak” can be offered in a straightforward and inexpensive way , and additionally examines the question of its socio-political efficacy and the consulting process generally.
