I must give a shout out to the PSLawNet Blog, which does a great job of collecting and spreading a wide range of access to justice news. They report on more news than my blog does. Here, for example, is the just-sent-out list of what is on their end of week summary:
- an AtJ commission formed in Illinois;
- LSC funding cuts will wreak havoc in Puerto Rico;
- the need for reform in Michigan’s indigent defense program;
- pro bono patent work;
- a Chicago law school gets HUD funding to smite housing discrimination;
- Legal Aid of W. Virginia gets desperately needing funding from state AG;
- bad news for the Public Defender Corps;
- prosecutor layoffs in Sacramento?;
- access-to-justice bonanza in the Treasure State;
- 5 tips for fixing the civil justice system;
- a Wake Forest Law clinic promotes rural economic development;
- Alaska Legal Services Corporation opens its 11th office;
- business is booming in an Oklahoma veterans court;
- the June edition of LSC Update;
- civil Gideon in San Fran.
Lots of good — and often, but not always, encouraging — stuff.
