The Dean’s Forum was born out of a vision to use the Law College to initiate conversation among  ‘system stakeholders’ about Access to Justice.  The driving objective was the design of an action plan.  With two Forum gatherings (in Sept. ’13 and March ’14), a law school course attached to the project, and two funded summer research positions, the Forum has gained momentum.  Its creative structure – and the involvement of a committed group of law students – has been key.

The attached summary outlines the Dean’s Forum progress to date. The table of appendices following the first 2-page summary is interactive:  if you “click” on any item, you will be brought directly to that item in the larger document.  We welcome comments and feedback!
