Process Matters in Legal Regulation Reform
Process Matters in Legal Regulation Reform
We’re researchers who study legal services regulation and access to the civil justice system. We’ve been thrilled to watch groundbreaking announcements from the West ignite a wide-ranging national debate about how best to regulate legal training, services, and businesses—and we’ve been paying special attention to the role people who are not lawyers are playing in the process of legal re-regulation.

The IAALS Effect on Hiring at Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell
The IAALS Effect on Hiring at Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell
At Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell, we’ve been fortunate to have a front-row seat to the outcomes and transformation that IAALS has achieved through Foundations for Practice. We collaborated with IAALS to survey our partners on the characteristics that they viewed as most essential for new associates to be successful at WTO, and the outcomes for retention and diversity have been exciting and encouraging.

Putting Students at the Center of Modern Legal Education
Putting Students at the Center of Modern Legal Education
As I’ve learned from many years practicing and advocating for innovative design changes in legal education, teaching online does not and should not involve doing what professors have always done—lecturing, leading discussions, and delivering exams—just through internet-enabled platforms. Instead, law professors should implement design principles to their courses for delivery in any modality: classroom, online, or blended.

Americans Know What They Want in Their State Judges. Can They Agree How to Achieve It?
Americans Know What They Want in Their State Judges. Can They Agree How to Achieve It?
In a recent national survey asking about the importance of 12 characteristics of judges, survey respondents indicated that the public prizes a judge's professional qualities above all others, including political qualities—preferences that have obvious relevance for methods of judicial selection.

Back to the Future: Civil Case Management
Back to the Future: Civil Case Management
Civil jury trials have been few since the pandemic began. Cases stalled and slowed, phone conferences and Zoom replaced in-person hearings, and deadlines were extended. How did courts handle the tension between civil rules and procedure on the one hand, and the fundamental right to a jury trial on the other? And, what will stick?

Federal Pro Se Clinic in Colorado Helps the Public Navigate Our Federal Courts
Since 2018, the Colorado Bar Association Federal Pro Se Clinic has been helping people navigate the overwhelming process of filing and pursuing a lawsuit in federal court without a lawyer.

The Pandemic and the Justice for All Projects
The Pandemic and the Justice for All Projects
The pandemic has affected our civil justice system in many ways, yet perhaps the most important role access to justice entities can play in the near future is to advocate for the retention of remote access systems for court appearances as well as for the delivery of legal and self-help services.

Will 2020 Be Hindsight? Swimming Naked in Our Justice System
Will 2020 Be Hindsight? Swimming Naked in Our Justice System
2020 revealed that most of us are swimming naked when it comes to our ability to meaningfully access our justice system. 2020 certainly exacerbated issues, but its true effect and power was revealing our society’s not-so-secret dirty secrets: systemic racism, growing income inequality, the failing U.S. healthcare system, and a justice system that only serves a small minority of Americans.

Measuring Justice Needs and Delivery in a Pandemic
Measuring Justice Needs and Delivery in a Pandemic
In June of this year, HiiL surveyed thought leaders in the justice sector about what it would mean to deliver justice during the COVID-19 crisis. The goal was to collect real-time data about justice needs and innovative responses to the pandemic, including the kinds of problems expected to increase and the ways justice institutions in various countries were already responding to them.

2020 Judicial Elections Bring Less Tumult, But Still a Few Surprises
2020 Judicial Elections Bring Less Tumult, But Still a Few Surprises
On the whole, 2020 was a quiet time for state judicial elections, at least in comparison to recent years. Fewer sitting judges were directly targeted for removal, and most of the efforts to oust judges failed at the ballot box. But even quiet years have standout moments, and the recent election cycle brought several noteworthy developments.
