To: Subject: Public Libraries and Access to Justice Session at the
Public Library Association Meeting -- Thursday March 25, 8:30 AM

 
Our session, which will include a lot of the faculty, material and
approach from the Conference, is scheduled for 8:30 in the morning on
Thursday March 25th, in the Oregon Convention Center Room E145-146.


Here is the description of the session.


Public Libraries and Access to Justice (Oregon Convention Center Room
E145-146), Thursday March 25th at 8:30 AM
This session provides tools and training that will help public libraries
serve as gateways to justice and governmental institutions, with a focus
on collaboration with courts, law libraries, and legal aid programs.  It
introduces information and tools and how public librarians can
appropriately help their patrons use these tools, such as those provided
by legal aid and courts.  Participants will learn about the national
network of state Access to Justice Commissions, and how public libraries
can participate in these groups.  The session will also introduce the
online "train the trainer" tools developed by the Self-Represented
Litigation Network of the National Center for State Courts, as presented
at a recent national conference funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation.  Participants will receive tips and a template for creating
a list of key resources, and ideas on how state access to justice
partners can assist in the customization of that listing.

Please distribute this widely to those who may be interested in
attending.
