Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Good afternoon. Thank you, Judge Livingston, for that kind introduction, and for your tireless commitment to increasing access to justice for all. Thank you also to Cindy Tisdale, Trey Apffel, Harriet Miers and the State Bar of Texas and the Texas Access to Justice Commission for your leadership and for organizing this important convening.
It’s an honor to be here today, in the company of so many attorneys and advocates who have dedicated their careers to bridging the gap between the aspirations and the realities of our legal systems.
As I think about the expertise demonstrated by those leading the meetings and events over the last few days, and the career focus of those in this room, I am humbled. You are on the front lines of the civil access to justice crisis in this country. It is not easy work. It demands deep wells of empathy, resilience, dedication and innovation. Thank you for your service.
Our mission at the Office for Access to Justice is to ensure that all communities have access to the promises and protections of our legal systems. We work to break down barriers to the founding principle and enduring promise of equal justice under law.
This is why it is an honor to join you today at the Texas Poverty Law conference.
Justice belongs to everyone, not only those with wealth or status. Justice cannot be purchased. If it is only accessible to those with power, money or influence, we simply cannot call it justice.
