For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs

Director Rachel Rossi of the Office for Access to Justice (ATJ) traveled to
Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix, Arizona, to engage access to justice stakeholders and
deliver open plenary remarks at the Access to Justice and Future of Justice Work
Conference.

Director Rossi met with the U.S. Attorney Gary Restaino for the District of
Arizona, where she discussed and applauded the office’s commitment to pro bono
work. Additional meetings included the Federal Public Defender for the District
of Arizona and the Director of Public Defense Services of Maricopa County to
discuss support for criminal justice, public defense and access to justice.

She also met with the Arizona Access to Justice Commission and the Arizona Bar
Foundation to discuss state-level efforts to promote and expand civil legal
services and improve Arizonans’ access to civil justice, including the recently
convened State Agency Forum on Access to Justice.

Additionally, Director Rossi and ATJ staff met with legal services organizations
about the significant challenges they face in providing basic legal needs,
particularly in Tribal communities. They met with stakeholders who are part of a
collaboration among five legal services organizations that will use non-attorney
community justice workers to provide disaster legal services in American Indian
and Alaska Native communities. The meeting included leaders and staff from
Montana Legal Services, Anishinaabe Legal Services, DNA People’s Legal Services,
Oklahoma Legal Services and Alaska Legal Services Corporation.

Following the convening, Director Rossi and ATJ visited two cutting-edge legal
services programs run by Innovation for Justice, a legal innovation lab based in
Arizona and Utah. As part of the visit, Director Rossi met with representatives
from the Housing Stability Legal Advocate Initiative and the Domestic Violence
Legal Advocate Initiative. ATJ heard about needs of the community and learned
about the programs’ empowerment of community members to provide legal help with
housing and domestic violence matters. In the meeting, advocates presented
examples of the community-based justice worker nonlawyer program and provided an
overview of their legal services design process.

The Access to Justice and Future of Justice Work Conference focused on ways in
which trained nonlawyers and community justice workers can play a significant
role in advancing access to justice. In her opening plenary remarks, Director
Rossi highlighted recent efforts of ATJ to advance bold and creative solutions
to civil justice gap, including the 2023 Legal Aid Interagency Roundtable
report, Access to Justice in Federal Administrative Proceedings: Nonlawyer
Assistance and Other Strategies. She highlighted the report’s compilation of
numerous, varied ways in which nonlawyers provide legal representation and
advice in federal agency administrative proceedings and how those uses can serve
as an example for access to justice efforts throughout the U.S.


Director Rachel Rossi and ATJ staff met with legal services organizations about
the significant challenges encountered in providing basic legal needs to the
communities.
