Joint Resolution Recognizing Access To Justice Day Presented By Maine'S Justice Action Group
This joint resolution designates April 17, 2025, as "Access to Justice Day" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Maine's Justice Action Group. It formally recognizes the group's work - representing judges, legal aid providers, bar associations, and attorneys - and expresses legislative support for civil legal aid and pro bono services. The resolution does not create new laws or funding; it is a ceremonial acknowledgment of efforts to improve access to justice for low-income Mainers. It directly affects Maine's legal community and civil justice advocates by honoring their contributions.
