The
Arkansas Pro Bono Partnership was established
to expand the pool of volunteers to better meet
the civil legal needs of low-income Arkansans.
Without
your volunteer efforts many more low-income Arkansans
would not receive legal representation. Thank
you for being here and considering the following
cases.

Forging the Road to Civil Justice DVD Web Premiere by: Ron Lanoue
The Arkansas Access to Justice Commission is pleased to announce the posting of the Commission’s DVD, Forging the Road to Civil Justice, on the Commission and ALSP websites.
