Fordham Law Dean Emeritus Matthew Diller, one of the nation’s leading voices on access-to-justice issues, presented at the Chief Judge’s Hearing on Civil Legal Services in Albany, advocating for a multi-pronged approach in achieving access to justice for all New Yorkers.
“Access to justice can only be achieved by rethinking systems to forestall unnecessary disputes, by expanding the role public institutions play in helping individuals navigate complex legal systems and processes by increasing the range of professionals empowered to assist those in need with advice and support and, yes, through the robust provision of legal counsel.”
