““Access to legal services is a gateway into a world of possibilities. There are people experiencing poverty who have their whole lives changed and go on to accomplish big and bright things. It is so important to understand that ensuring this access means that people can move beyond the barriers that hinder them. Poverty should not and will not hinder justice.” ”
