Annual Meeting of Access to Justice Commissions
2010 National Meeting of State Access to Justice Chairs
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, May 15, 2010. The ninth Annual National Meeting of State Access to Justice Chairs will take place in conjunction with the 2010 Equal Justice Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
Invitations to the meeting are sent to the Chairs of state Access to Justice Commissions or similar entities or state bar committees with a broad charge of promoting access to justice for low-income people. In states with no formal Access to Justice structure, invitations are sent to bar and bench leaders whose volunteer roles are most closely related to the Access to Justice mission.
