Access to Justice

The Morrill Memorial Library is the first library in Massachusetts to partner with the Access to Justice initiative to directly increase the ability of community members to engage with Massachusetts Trial Courts. Starting with the Norfolk County Family and Probate Court, we will describe the objectives and processes we followed to dedicate resources for this valuable initiative. Learn what we did to involve staff, town officials, and key community stakeholders. Find out what lessons we've learned so far, what our plans are for expanding to additional courts, and how easy it could be for your library to adopt a similar initiative.
