Plain language alternatives to legal terms examined
The National Center for State Courts will present the webinar “Family-Centered Fridays — Improving Access to Justice with Plain Language” on Friday, May 19, at 4 p.m. via Zoom.
Senior Court Management Consultant Lonni Summers will lead a discussion on NCSC’s Plain Language Glossary, a tool that presents plain language alternatives to legal terms that are not understandable to most people.
Summers will explain the philosophy behind the Glossary and highlight how this tool can assist courts working to promote access to justice for families.
Summers directed the Maryland Judiciary’s statewide network of Court Help Centers, a high-volume program that offers free, civil legal help to unrepresented litigants from nine walk-in locations and a remote services center.
