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:
