To create an ecosystem with 100% Access to Justice, we need to learn from the people who have struggled to access the civil legal system. In this session, we will share New Mexico and Montana’s attempts to incorporate and engage with the perspectives and lived experiences of justice-system uses as part of these states' Justice for All Strategic Planning work. This session will include information about New Mexico and Montana's community integration planning and strategies for listening authentically to justice system users. Participants will share successes and challenges related to this work in their own states and organizations. We will develop action steps to better understand and center the experiences and perspectives of the people who need access and assistance.

This session has been approved for 1.5 hours of TN General Continuing Legal Education.
