Fair Access to Legal Counsel Act of 2024

This bill requires federal courts to inform self-represented, low-income litigants about their right to request appointed counsel in cases involving civil rights, housing, employment, or basic needs. Courts must evaluate requests using specific factors like case complexity, the person's ability to navigate legal issues due to disabilities or literacy barriers, and whether opposing parties have lawyers. It prohibits denying counsel solely because a court hasn't ruled on early motions and mandates courts to consider privacy for sensitive personal details shared during requests. The bill also requires annual reports tracking how often counsel is appointed, case outcomes, and barriers to access, to help improve the system.
