2026 Equal Justice Conference

Strategic partnerships with public libraries can address inequities in the justice system for self-represented individuals. Pro bono led clinics, combined with library services and resources, put self-helpers on equal footing with opponents as they advocate for themselves. This session features innovative partnerships with public libraries that bridge the justice gap. We’ll share ideas for clinics and programs; an initiative that brings virtual public access to court services and resources; and a mobile legal office to ensure no one gets left behind.
