The Good Work of the Texas Access to Justice Commission

SMU Dedman School of Law, Dallas, TX

Join us for a lunchtime conversation with Professor Leatherbury on his work with the Texas Access to Justice Commission and the broader effort to expand meaningful access to legal services across Texas. The discussion will cover the Commission’s role in addressing gaps in civil legal representation, ongoing initiatives to support underserved communities, and the practical and ethical challenges of improving access to justice in today’s legal landscape. This is a great opportunity for students interested in public interest law, professional responsibility, and the real-world impact of legal institutions to hear directly from a leading figure in the field and engage in an informal Q&A. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP.
