Students examine what access to justice (A2J) means in contemporary legal and policy contexts. Students are introduced to recent case law, legislation, and research in this pressing area, and critically examine definitions and theoretical underpinnings of access to justice. Students have an opportunity to discuss, assess, and synthesize policy responses to A2J problems and to address A2J issues as they manifest in a range of legal areas (including criminal, civil, and family law).
