On December 9, IAALS will co-host a virtual discussion with Dan Rodriguez, former dean of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, on why our balkanized system of professional regulation makes it much more difficult to meet the demand for legal services, and how states can join together and offer more legal services to those in need without opening up the public to the risk of harm.

On October 27, IAALS co-hosted a discussion on how programs and regulations in other countries have allowed for a more accessible way for people to access the justice system, featuring Crispin Passmore (Founder/Principle, Passmore Consulting), Will Morrison (Strategic Policy Counsel, Law Society of Ontario), and Abigail Moy (Director, Legal Empowerment Network)—and moderated by David Lat (Founding Editor, Above the Law).

Each year, IAALS recognizes individuals and groups who exemplify the spirit of innovation and leadership that we champion as we work toward building a legal system that is accessible, fair, reliable, and accountable. For the first time ever, this event will be held virtually, and will also be free and open to the public—making it more accessible to a national audience than ever before.

Please join us for a virtual event on Friday, September 25, from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. MDT, recognizing you! We will celebrate friends and supporters of IAALS with a special hour-long program, including a thank-you video featuring staff and donors, a fireside chat, and the unveiling of a special recognition plaque.
