Access to Justice

The Utah State Bar Access to Justice Commission is a statewide body tasked with exploring access to justice issues through the state to advance equity in the legal system while breaking down barriers faced by people in need. 

The Utah State Bar Access to Justice Commission works to improve access to justice for the people of Utah. While access to justice has been addressed in Utah since the mid-1990’s, the Access to Justice Coordinating Committee formally became the Access to Justice Commission in 2019 following approval from the Utah State Bar Commission.  The Access to Justice Commission is a policy-driving group tasked with increasing awareness, researching issues, strategizing, promoting, and doing outreach to create change.

Thank you for a successful Access to Justice Summit

The 6th Annual Access to Justice Summit, hosted on October 4, 2024, at the Utah Law & Justice Center, brought together 115 participants from various sectors of the legal community and beyond. This year’s Summit aimed to explore innovative solutions for ensuring access to justice, particularly for underserved communities. It also offered a platform for meaningful discussions on fairness, accountability, and the evolving role of technology in the legal landscape.
