Job Summary

Imagine if lawyers, judges, and decision makers used rigorous evidence to design and run the U.S. justice system. They could:

* enable far more people, especially those who can't afford to hire lawyers, to access civil justice;
* make the criminal justice system fairer and more efficient; and
* promote the dignity and respect of individuals and families as they encounter the justice system.

The Access to Justice Lab creates and shares the rigorous evidence needed to make these transformations happen.

This position works under the A2J Faculty Director and one or more front-line researchers to implement A2J Lab field operations, and conducts as needed background research on the effort to transform the US legal system into an evidence-based profession.
