Justice Community Collaboration


               The  work  of  these  committees  depends  on  the  coordination  and  collaboration  of  justice  and
               community partners including but not limited to the following organizations:


































               In addition to these non-profit and governmental legal stakeholders, Access to Justice has worked
               with non-legal partners such as libraries for more than a decade. Recognizing the benefits of cross-
               collaboration through these partnerships, the ATJ Commission convened the first Access to Justice
               Conclave in 2023 bringing together an expanded group of traditional and non-traditional partners
               to strengthen those relationships. The first Conclave developed a set of strategic priorities. In April
               2024, the furtherance of these priorities through education and outreach became the focus of the
               second  ATJ  Conclave,  Additionally,  a  newly  created  Community  Outreach  and  Education
               Committee is tasked with furthering the priorities resulting from each Conclave.

               Continuum of Services
                   Each partner plays an integral role in delivering services to those in need of access to help and
               the courts. As a leader in Access to Justice, the LSBA administers the Find Legal Help page on its
               website, which includes a continuum of legal assistance from self-help to full representation. This
               continuum guides much of the work of the committees and access to justice staff in making legal
               information, resources, and help available to the public.
