FAQ

What is this website’s purpose?

Access to Justice (ATJ) Web seeks to help guide the development of technology to help those in need.

What are the ATJ Technology Principles?

These Access to Justice Technology Principles were developed by the Access to Justice Board to assure that technology enhances rather than diminishes access to and the quality of justice for all persons in Washington.
