This Forum is the only program of its kind to provide educational training, unique networking opportunities, and support to the access to justice commissions, IOLTA programs, and lawyer referral programs that serve as gateways to the provision of access to justice.
By bringing together three distinct yet interconnected conferences, the Lawyer Referral Workshops, the Joint IOLTA Conference, and the National Meeting of State Access to Justice Commission Chairs (ATJ Conference), the 2025 Forum builds bridges among those striving to promote meaningful access to justice for all persons involved in the justice system. Each individual conference will address topics of concern to local and state programs and bring together national leaders seeking to share information on resources and best practices to better serve the legal needs of their communities. In addition, special joint programming will focus on overlapping concerns.
