Date/Time: On February 7, 2025, The University of Nebraska College of Law is hosting a FREE symposium on improving access to justice from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Topic: It is generally recognized that everyone should have equal access to the justice system. Yet, the U.S. faces a serious civil justice crisis known as the civil justice gap—that is, there is a significant amount of unmet need for civil legal assistance. Addressing the justice gap requires a data-driven innovative approach. In this symposium, we bring together experts to consider how technology and data can help. These experts examine how to use data to better understand gaps in our understanding of justice needs. And, they engage technological innovations to remove barriers and promote access. Together, we will look to the future with a people-centered approach contemplating different pathways for improving access to justice for all.
