The legal profession is concerned with systemic issues that interfere with individuals from equity-deserving groups’ ability to lead secure, healthy, and productive lives.

There is a problem that we have the power to address but which we ignore: The legal services delivery system in Ontario creates structural barriers for low-income individuals from those groups seeking access to justice.
At this session, the Roundtable of Legal Diversity Association in partnership with Pro Bono Ontario will discuss the challenges members of equity-deserving groups experience using the legal services delivery system as well as solutions that are in reach today.

Participants can expect:
Discussion of existing barriers for members of equity-deserving groups seeking civil A2J
Elements of a solution
Resources that are in place today
Conversations on how can we drive systemic change within the legal services delivery system
