　　Our Work

　　IAALS works on solving problems within the legal system: both in the courtsand in the delivery of legal services more broadly. We conduct comprehensiveanalysis and work with stakeholders to design models, empowerdecision-makers, and measure outcomes and impacts to advance a trustedAmerican legal system.

　　A trusted and trustworthy legal system is essential to our democracy, oureconomy, and our freedom. But the American legal system is in a state ofunprecedented change and challenge. Some 80 percent of Americans have legalneeds that go unmet. Some 76 percent of state civil cases have a litigant onat least one side without lawyer representation. Businesses routinely choosearbitration rather than using the courts, jury trials are disappearing,and public confidence in our legal system is low.

　　Justice, the courts, and legal services must be accessible-and they arenot. But IAALS is changing that. The problems are complex andmulti-dimensional, and we are committed to comprehensive, balanced, andinclusive solutions across the American legal system. IAALS has ongoingprojects in the areas of judicial reform, civil justice reform, familyjustice reform, legal education, and the reregulation of the legalprofession.
