Launching New ATJ Commissions

The ABA Access to Justice Commission Expansion Project, with funding from the Public Welfare Foundation and the Kresge Foundation, made grants in 2012 and 2013 to promote the effective launch of new Access to Justice Commissions. Insights from the grant-funded initiatives, as well as past efforts, are incorporated into a new resource document:
