BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:iCalendar-Ruby BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Conference/Symposium DESCRIPTION:We are excited to present the Stanford Law Review Volume 75 Sym posium: Access to Justice.\n\n2023 marks the sixtieth anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright. It is\, then\, an appropriate time to take stock of the acc ess to justice crisis in the United States. The most recent national survey \, conducted by the Hague Institute for Innovation of Law\, found that only 14% of civil claims “involve courts.” This indicates that 86% of Americans ’ legal needs fall into a second category—they go entirely unmet. ​Many ten ants\, debtors\, workers\, accident victims\, and others can take no action in the face of legal problems and\, therefore\, are entirely excluded from the civil justice system. Think here of a tenant who is living in an uninh abitable apartment and who cannot access the legal system and thus cannot i nduce the landlord to make necessary repairs. Like so much else\, this just ice gap inflicts particular damage on people of color. A 2015 ProPublica st udy examining debt collection judgments concluded that\, “even accounting f or income\, the rate of judgments was twice as high in mostly [B]lack neigh borhoods as it was in mostly white ones.” This symposium will nurture—and d raw attention to—reformers’ disparate efforts to close this gap with a mix of theoretical\, empirical\, and doctrinal interventions. In 2020\, the ABA adopted Resolution 115 to “encourage[] U.S. jurisdictions to consider inno vative approaches to the access to justice crisis in order to help the more than 80% of people below the poverty line and the many middle-income Ameri cans who lack meaningful access to effective civil legal services.” It is u nlikely that the Supreme Court will institute a civil Gideon. But we believ e we can build on Gideon to improve access to justice for generations to co me.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nFriday\, February 10\, 2023\n\n12:45 PM – 2:00 PM: Openi ng Keynote Lunch 2:15 PM – 3:30 PM: Lawyerless Courts 3:45 PM – 5:00 PM: Ac cess to Housing 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM: Keynote Dinner (previous RSVP required)S aturday\, February 11\, 2023\n\n8:30 AM – 9:45 AM: Medical-Legal Partnershi ps10:00 AM – 11:15 AM: Regulatory Reform: The Unauthorized Practice of Law1 1:30 AM – 12:45 PM: Closing Lunch and Presentation DTEND:20230210T204500Z DTSTAMP:20260312T101553Z DTSTART:20230210T163000Z GEO:37.423877;-122.167441 LOCATION:Law School\, Room 190\, Classroom Building SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:SLR Symposium 2023: Access to Justice UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_42218849666388 URL:https://events.stanford.edu/event/slr_symposium_2023_access_to_justice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Conference/Symposium DESCRIPTION:We are excited to present the Stanford Law Review Volume 75 Sym posium: Access to Justice.\n\n2023 marks the sixtieth anniversary of Gideon v.
