We invite presentations from scholars; researchers; legal practitioners; court, tribunal, and dispute resolution staff; and other legal service providers from around the world on a range of topics relating to access to civil justice. Topics of particular interest include:
- New data or empirical analysis regarding the prevalence of civil legal problems, perceptions or understandings of legal matters, or behavior taken in response to justiciable events;
- Legal professional regulatory reform, alternative legal service providers, and innovative legal service partnerships;
- The role of legal technology in enhancing access to justice;
- Access to justice in the face of climate change, global conflict, and economic change;
- Interventions and approaches to enhance equality in access to civil justice for underserved groups;
- Research regarding the outcomes and impacts of legal services, or the return on investment regarding the delivery of legal services; and
- The place of access to justice in legal education.
Those interested in presenting should submit a brief abstract (no more than 3,000 characters) that clearly identifies the proposed topic and summarizes key findings or lessons. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Please note that all presenters must plan to attend the conference in person (with exceptions).
