The National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel has launched its new website, providing advocates and the public with a much-needed information source and a way to coordinate efforts to expand recognition of a right to counsel in civil cases. The Coalition is comprised of over 150 advocates from national and state-based groups and the website is a great place to find the latest news developments, relevant case law, research and policy studies, and updates on current "civil Gideon" efforts in both legislatures and the courts, as well as information on ways to promote a civil right to counsel in your state.
From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.
