21st Annual John W. Hager Distinguished Lecture: "Access to Social Justice." The reception and lecture are free and open to the public.
About the lecture
Legal Practice of every type faces disruptive innovation. This is as true in the access to justice sector as anywhere else. Efforts to expand the public's access to justice have come to a crossroads and those of us who participate in these efforts face a choice. To go on as we are will cement the justice gap, ensuring that the American people's legal needs will far outstrip the capacity to serve them at the same time that lawyers wishing to serve their local communities struggle to make a living. But we don't have to go on as we are, nor do we have to choose a path forward blindly. A growing research evidence base provides opportunities to radically rethink how we "do" access to justice.
