Judicial Districts are encouraged to form Local Access to Justice Committees to provide targeted legal assistance to its residents. 

However, several districts are still in need of local committees.

The Subcommittee's mission is to:

• Get Access to Justice Committees established in each judicial district and encourage their continuation and reporting to the ATJ Commission.
• Collect and disseminate ideas from and to local ATJ Committees and other standing committees of the Commission, which may increase the scope and effectiveness of local pro bono services and of pro se representation.
• Consider possible statewide initiatives to increase pro bono work, including pro bono reporting and other ideas.
