Abstract
Since its inception in 1996, the California Commission on Access to Justice ( CCAJ) has worked to ensure that all Californians are afforded equal access to justice. The California Commission on Access to Justice researched the issue of so-called attorney desserts, places where few attorneys live and work, leaving unmet legal needs. In this policy brief, we detail the problem and suggest possible solutions.
