Conference explores access to justice research May 8

The United States faces an access to civil justice crisis of extraordinary scale. According to the latest Legal Services Corporation Justice Gap Report, 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 a unique opportunity for access to justice researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to critically 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 Center Room BC, 495 Ferry Mall in Detroit.

There is no cost to attend this conference, but registration is required.  For additional information and to register, visit www.americanbarfoundation.org/event/emerging-insights-from-access-to-justice-research.
