What if in two days we could bring together leaders across North America to create paths that help close the justice gap through unbundled legal services? This conference brings together those dedicated to improving access to justice in order to have highly interactive exchanges that will lay the foundation for the creation of strategic plans for a broader implementation of unbundled legal services.

As the institutions entrusted with educating lawyers, law schools are uniquely positioned to ensure that new lawyers are not only prepared to enter the profession, but also to serve clients. The 2017 Educating Tomorrow’s Lawyers Conference puts clients front and center by exploring client needs; by showcasing lawyers, organizations, and others leading the way to improved delivery of legal services; and by tapping into the collective wisdom of innovative legal educators to bring these concepts to life in law schools..

This one-day gathering will bring together people interested in discussing and learning more about the history, launch, and lessons learned of COCD’s innovative service model for families transitioning during divorce or separation, and will help foster an engaging exchange of ideas about similar efforts around the country and the sharing of information and experiences regarding out-of-court models for divorce and separation.

On April 20, 2017, IAALS will hold its annual Rebuilding Justice Award Dinner, which recognizes individuals who exemplify the spirit of innovation and leadership that we champion across all of our work. This year, we will honor El Pomar Foundation, the generous donor that has made our signature DIAALOGUES series of convenings possible.

As part of our DIAALOGUES series, IAALS will bring together judges, attorneys, scholars, and citizens from around the country to consider best practices for judicial recusal procedures that are fair to both judge and litigant, and that are efficient and transparent. This invitation-only convening will focus on the process of recusal and will not wade into questions regarding the appropriate or necessary reasons for recusal.
