Professor Sandefur Speaks at the US Department of Justice

On February 29, Professor Sandefur spoke about her research on public experience with justice problems and civil legal aid at a meeting co-chaired by US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch and the Director of President Obama's Domestic Policy Council, Cecilia Munoz. The event was attended by cabinet-level representatives from over 20 federal departments, including the Departments of State, Labor, the Treasury, Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Homeland Security. The convening at the US Department of Justice was the inaugural meeting of the White House Legal Aid Interagency Roundtable, created by Presidential Memorandum in September 2015. Professor Sandefur's appearance coincided with the release of the Department of Justice's Civil Legal Aid Research Workshop Report, to which she was a contributing expert.
