Article: Access to Justice: The Emerging Consensus and Some Questions and Implications (Zorza 2011)

In this 2011 article, Richard Zorza writes that there is a broad emerging general operational consensus within the relevant legal community - courts, bar and legal aid - about the approaches needed for a comprehensive solution. He notes that the four key elements of the consensus - court simplification and services, bar flexibility, legal aid efficiency and availability, and systems of triage and assignment - are drawn from the practical challenges that the constituencies face in doing their jobs, from the experiments that each has shaped in an attempt to respond to those challenges, and from the work that members of the constituencies have done to help each other in these experiments.
