Protecting the Promise: Forum on Closing the Justice Gap Through Innovation and Collaboration
Join LSC's Forum on Closing the Justice Gap
Since our country's founding, America has struggled to realize the promise etched onto the Supreme Court building of "equal justice for all." Today, technological innovation and collaborative community support are two of the hallmarks in bridging the "Justice Gap." Join us for this free forum, part of a series recognizing the Legal Services Corporation’s 50thanniversary, educating attendees about the justice gap, offering insights into solutions, and serving as a call-to-action for how each of us can play a role in making our nation's founding promise a reality.
This hybrid event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is recommended.
