This session will examine the political and social context in which civil legal aid was founded, examine its measurable impact on low-income communities, and consider how legal aid has shaped both legal and social service systems in Connecticut and across the country. Panelists will reflect on the legal profession’s progress, identify persistent structural gaps, and discuss how the evolution of civil legal aid informs today’s conversations about equity, institutional design, and the legal profession’s responsibility in promoting and advancing justice.

Participants will be part of a masterclass in ensuring clarity and impact in all their written communication, developing efficient and adaptable workflows, and smoothing out the often-contentious review-and-revision process that takes place before hitting “Send.” Join writing coach and former attorney Rick Horowitz for a lively and practical session that will reintroduce you to your legal-writing toolbox, including a few tools you didn't know were in there.
