What do expungement, debt collection, and name change cases have in common? 1) They are very important to the individuals with the case; 2) legal aid providers have limited resources to provide more help, and 3) the cases are often subject to the unpredictability of low and limited jurisdiction courts. This session will explore how three legal aid organizations have leveraged pro bono volunteers to provide targeted assistance to clients while advancing strategic advocacy efforts that have resulted in far-reaching improvements to court systems and the administration of justice.
