Counties Legislative Conference

On March 7, 2011 Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference held in Washington DC. The attorney general spoke about two specific Justice Department priorities sure to be of interest and concern to this audience: ideas on how to bring systemic rather than incremental improvements to our juvenile justice system, and Justice Department steps to ensure that every American can access the legal services they need and deserve.

Every American deserves access to necessary legal services according to the Attorney General. Last year, the Department of Justice established the Access to Justice Initiative "in an effort to ensure that quality legal representation is available, affordable, and accessible to all Americans. The Access to Justice team has hit the ground running with an ambitious agenda - and they stand ready to work with you until you no longer face that impossible choice between funding critical health and human services or upholding core Constitutional rights."
