Conference to examine access to justice research
The latest Legal Services Corporation Justice Gap Report shows that 92% of low-income Americans with civil needs cannot find adequate help to resolve their civil legal problems.
To address this, the American Bar Foundation’s Access to Justice Research Initiative and Wayne State University Law School will host a conference to offer an opportunity for access to justice researchers and practitioners to examine how empirical research and evidence might provide answers.
“Emerging Insights from Access to Justice Research Translating Ideas into Action” will take place Wednesday, May 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at McGregor Memorial Conference Cente in Detroit.
The event is free, but registration is required.
