COLORADO ACCESS TO JUSTICE COMMISSION
REPORT
During 2007, the Colorado Access
to Justice Commission held ten hearings throughout the state to assess
the civil legal needs of Colorado's vulnerable populations. In March
2008, the Commission released a report regarding the findings from
the hearings and the Commissions recommendations to increase legal
assistance to these Coloradans. According to the report, many Coloradans
who need legal assistance to secure and maintain health care,
housing, custody and other necessities do not receive help. A link
to the report can be found here:
