In Support of Access to Justice Commissions
Resolution 8: In Support of Access to Justice Commissions
WHEREAS, many states have established an access to justice commission to ensure the effective delivery of justice to all; and
WHEREAS, access to justice commissions have achieved remarkable results and have been recognized as one of the most important justice-related developments in the past decade — as championed by Professor Laurence H. Tribe, Senior Counselor for Access to Justice at the United States Department of Justice, in his remarks to the Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators during their 2010 Annual Meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators support the aspirational goal that every state and United States territory have an active access to justice commission or comparable body.
Adopted as proposed by the CCJ/COSCA Access, Fairness and Public Trust Committee at the 2010 Annual Meeting on July 28, 2010.
