(IAALS) Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System

On the ground in beautiful Denver, Colorado for a (IAALS) Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System board meeting.  Serving on the board of IAALS is some of the most rewarding work I have the opportunity to engage in. A healthy justice system is essential to a healthy democracy. I feel lucky to get to spend time with others who are passionate about the justice system like Jim Sandman, an access to justice hero of mine who also serves on the IAALS board. Feeling very grateful. 

Although many navigate the legal system without representation, their lack of counsel shouldn't compromise their access to justice. While not all self-help materials are created equally, courts can implement certain key principles to empower self-represented litigants to navigate proceedings with confidence. https://lnkd.in/gBxTK2fV

In November, Oregon made history by introducing a non-exam, performance-based pathway to licensure for lawyers. By exploring alternative routes and gathering data, other states can establish rigorous, fair systems that foster competent legal professionals. https://lnkd.in/eyJKiX_s
