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.  It is a potent piece about the work pro bono attorneys do every day, the people you help and the needs that remain unaddressed.
