BoardNew York State Permanent Commission on Access to Justice Strategic Action Plan
This Strategic Action Plan by the New York State Permanent Commission on Access to Justice aims to establish a system ensuring 100 percent effective assistance and access to civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers. The plan outlines a multi-phase approach focusing on enhancing Foundational Capacities (community integration, technology, education), strengthening Foundational Services (Help Centers, language access, plain language forms), and improving Enhancement Services (full and limited-scope representation, non-lawyer roles). It seeks to achieve this through coordinated statewide initiatives and a local pilot in Suffolk County to address justice gaps and overcome barriers to access.
