Equal Access to Justice?

Listen Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008 at 12:06 p.m. in Economy, Society

DC is jokingly called "a city full of lawyers." But for the poor, getting legal help in a child custody battle, a landlord-tenant dispute or to resolve an inheritance conflict is virtually impossible. Kojo hears from the Access to Justice Commission, created three years ago by the DC Court of Appeals, to see what improvements have been made, and what still needs to be done better.
