Arkansas Access to Justice Commission Launches EqualJusticeWatch.org
The Arkansas Access to Justice Commission today announced the official launch of EqualJusticeWatch.org:
The goal of the new Arkansas Equal Justice Watch website is to encourage action by state leaders to support equal access to justice for all Arkansans. The Watch is a project of the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission created by the state Supreme Court to expand civil legal justice. This website is designed to provide legislative decision makers with the latest information about civil legal aid in their districts as well as enable constituents to easily research civil justice issues in their communities. Data for each of the 75 counties in the state include population demographics on poverty, education, disability, divorce, foreclosure, bankruptcy in addition to the 2008 numbers and types of cases handled by civil legal aid. Through this website visitors can easily locate and contact their Senator and Representative to express support for justice legislation.
Congratulations to the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission, Center for Arkansas Legal Services, and Legal Aid of Arkansas on launching this innovative initiative to help ensure access to justice for all Arkansans! -M
