Join us on Friday Feb 9, 2024 for The Access to Justice Symposium at @fordhamlawnyc!

A civil access to justice movement seeks to empower people in these challenges. This “Solutions Symposium” will focus on the movement’s leading edge: policy solutions. These include solutions that: i) narrow the footprint of the legal system in people’s lives; ii) ensure people will have a right to legal representation in civil legal disputes; iii) empower people to turn to friends, neighbors, and other front line workers (not only lawyers) for help in asserting their legal rights; and, iv) increase access to justice through fair laws, innovative technologies, creative programs, and additional interventions. Attention will be given to evaluation of the claimed policy
solutions, and to considerations of quality, impact, and scalability.

The Symposium is co-sponsored by the National Center for Access to Justice with Fordham Law’s Access to Justice Initiative, Fordham Law’s Stein Center for Law & Ethics, and Fordham Law’s Urban Law Journal, which will also publish papers authored for the Symposium.

Upcoming SCOTUS case United States v. Rahimi will force the Supreme Court to take a look at the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and whether it grants the government's ability to prohibit firearm possession by a person with a domestic violence restraining order.

Swipe to see what three speakers from our Cooper-Walsh Colloquium (on Friday October 13, 2023) thought as they worked in conjunction with several others on an Amicus Brief in support of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits the possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic-violence restraining orders.

Our Cooper-Walsh Colloquium event will be held both in-person and live at the Law School. Register via our link in bio.
