It embellishes courthouse entries, ceremonial occasions, and an occasional constitutional decision. But it comes nowhere close to describing the justice system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to the system, let alone equal access. It is a shameful irony that our nation, which has the world’s greatest concentration of lawyers, also has one of the least adequate systems for legal assistance. It is more shameful still that the inadequacies attract so little concern. The Roadmap to Justice Project seeks to bring greater visibility and expertise to this issue. Its goal is to draw leaders in the field together to chart a national agenda for access to justice for those who need it most. Through a series of structured conversations with leading experts, we hope to develop a plausible plan for the reorganization of legal processes, ethical rules, court procedures, and pro bono programs. This forum, sponsored by the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession and the Sokolove Charitable Fund, provides a starting point for an ongoing effort to turn the tide on this increasingly significant issue. We thank you for joining us. Deborah L. Rhode James G.
