2023 National Lawyer Referral Workshop | November 1-4, 2023

“For the first time, the National Lawyer Referral Workshop will join with the ABA Commission on IOLTA and the State Access to Justice Chairs to bring you the all-new 2023 Forum on Building Access to Justice For All. By bringing together three distinct yet interconnected conferences, the 2023 Forum builds bridges among those striving to promote meaningful access to justice for all persons involved in the justice system, whether they be self-represented litigants unable to afford counsel, those represented by legal aid or pro bono lawyers, or those able to pay reduced or full-cost legal fees. Each individual conference will address topics of concern to local and state programs and bring together national leaders seeking to share information on resources and best practices to better serve the legal needs of their communities. In addition, special joint programming will focus on overlapping concerns. The Forum is the only program of its kind to provide educational training, unique networking opportunities, and support to the access to justice commissions, IOLTA programs, and lawyer referral programs that serve as gateways to the provision of access to justice.”.
