During its Midyear Meeting in Orlando on February 5, the AJS Board of Directors voted to co-sign a letter to Congress urging support for the Civil Access to Justice Act. 

The Brennan Center for Justice is sending this letter to every Senator and Member of Congress.  AJS members are encouraged to also send the letter to Representatives and Senators with a personalized note, urging them to sign onto this legislation as a cosponsor if they haven't done so already, or thanking them if they have.
