On the Horizon
Access Justice is planning new programs to better serve the diverse legal needs of our clients and to strengthen the collective impact of public interest law as a whole. Among them:
• Minorities, New Immigrants and Senior Citizens Project: A comprehensive and focused program of education, resource support, community networking and legal assistance for disadvantaged and under-represented persons and nonprofit organizations with limited access to the legal system.
•Resource Guides: Practical information manuals concerning specific issues of importance to middle class individuals and small nonprofits, such as elder law, disability law, employment issues, and others.
• Speakers Bureau: A program bringing Access Justice’s executive director, professional staff and recognized legal experts to communities in Minnesota, and throughout the country, to inform and educate ordinary people about legal issues and ways in which they can more effectively access the legal system.
