I’m honored to step into the role of interim CEO as IAALS undergoes a strategic assessment this summer to solidify our future trajectory. I’m looking forward to working alongside trusted partners and advisors to brainstorm how IAALS can most effectively leverage its many strengths, dedicated team, and broad network to have more impact than ever on our civil justice system.
Last week, I attended the World Justice Forum in The Hague, where several IAALS staff members participated in important conversations around achieving justice at home and abroad. The forum was an incredible reminder of the power of collaboration, as well as the commitment across the world to make access to justice a reality for every person. IAALS remains steadfastly dedicated to being part of that global effort.

Remembering IAALS Co-Founder John Moye: With great sadness, IAALS mourns the passing of John E. Moye, one of our founders. His passion for justice and the betterment of society were at the forefront throughout his life and career. As Coloradans, we are proud to have had John among our leaders—and at IAALS, we are proud to have had him as family. He will be greatly missed.
World Justice Forum Reinforces Global Commitment to Access to Justice: Last week, I had the privilege of attending the World Justice Forum, held in The Hague. Participants gathered from 116 countries to discuss the deepening inequities in our world, the access to justice crisis, and the fragility of our justice systems. Despite the weightiness of the agenda and moment we find ourselves in, my takeaway was one of hope and resolve.
IAALS Celebrates with Partners and Friends at 2022 Rebuilding Justice Award Dinner: In April, IAALS gathered with our partners and friends for our 14th Annual Rebuilding Justice Award Dinner. We were thrilled to welcome people back in person after three years to celebrate this year’s honorees, as well as recognize our collective efforts to build a more accessible, fair, and efficient civil justice system.
