This month, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS), is launching a virtual summit series, Paths to Justice. The series is comprised of multiple invite-only virtual convenings, as well as a series of webinars focusing on the paths of the pandemic, the paths to access, and the paths to racial justice that our system must walk in this new normal.

The past year has emphasized that our system often falls short of the promise of equal justice, and there is much work to be done to realize justice for all. It is clear that now, more than ever, we need transformative change on a broad scale.

Registration is now open and free. To register click here.

The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) is conducting a cybersecurity survey to get a snapshot of where courts are with their cybersecurity readiness and planning. The results of the survey will help inform future cybersecurity priorities and policy recommendations. With the increase in the number and complexity of cyber-attacks, it is important for courts to measure their cybersecurity posture.

NCSC is requesting a response to the survey by September 1, 2021. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes or less to complete. To access the survey click here.
