Access to Justice

3 credits · Undergraduate

How do lower-income people navigate and experience the civil and criminal legal systems? This course will consider what “access to justice” means and requires, both for the structure of our legal systems and at a practical level. Students will be introduced to a range of topics that may include the right to counsel, the role of non-lawyers, the use of technology, legal design, and legal literacy. Prerequisite/Corequisite: ULAW 1000. [3]
