Lash is associate dean at the University of Southern California Law School. Johnson is a justice on California's Second District Court of Appeal. Lash and Johnson are co-chairs of the California Commission on Access to Justice. The full report can be viewed at (www.calbar.org). In her year-long odyssey through the California justice system, Katherine, a 35-year-old single mother with three children, experienced failure at every turn. Leaving her abusive husband, she moved into the only apartment she could afford, and soon discovered a broken toilet and non- working oven, rats and roaches, and a fourthfloor landing with no railing. She began withholding rent pending repairs her landlord refused to make, but then her Medi-Cal benefits were cut off when she could not provide rent receipts. She lost health care for her children and herself, although she is a borderline diabetic in need of medication and her children were suffering from rat bites. Katherine tried to seek help through the courts. Representing herself at an administrative hearing, she lost her appeal to restore Medi-Cal benefits because she did not have proper documentation of the rent account. When she went to a courthouse to file a complaint against her landlord, she found the process so confusing that she gave up and went home. According to "The Path to Justice: A Five-Year Status Report on Access to Justice in California," prepared by the California Commission on Access to Justice, Katherine is just one of 4.6 million poor Californians whose basic civil legal needs -- often involving such critical needs as housing, health care, education, employment, safety and transportation -- are not being addressed. California has a critical dearth of legal services for the poor, and, as this report makes clear, it is imperative that the state join with the federal government and private funders to increase resources so that all Californians, regardless of income, have equal access to our justice system. Our justice system is predicated on the assumption that both parties will be represented by lawyers who act as gatekeepers and guides through a complex legal system that would otherwise be inaccessible to many of us. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable members of our society are the least able to afford legal services. California does have a strong network of legal aid organizations that try to help meet the needs of the poor, but there's just one legal aid lawyer available per 10,000 poor people. We may promise "justice for all," but for those who can't afford a lawyer, that promise is often a lie. In its new report, the Commission on Access to Justice notes some significant steps toward providing equal access to justice for all Californians.

Lash är biträdande dekanus vid University of Southern California Law School. Johnson är en rättvisa i Kaliforniens andra distriktsdomstol. Lash och Johnson är medordförande i California Commission on Access to Justice. Den fullständiga rapporten finns på www.calbar.org. I sin årslånga odyssé genom Kaliforniens rättssystem upplevde Katherine, en 35-årig ensamstående mor med tre barn, misslyckande vid varje vändning. Hon lämnade sin misshandlande man och flyttade in i den enda lägenhet hon hade råd med, och upptäckte snart en trasig toalett och icke-verksam ugn, råttor och kackerlackor, och en fjärde vånings landning utan räcke. Hon började hålla inne hyran i väntan på reparationer hennes hyresvärd vägrade att göra, men sedan hennes Medi-Cal förmåner avbröts när hon inte kunde ge hyresintäkter. Hon förlorade sjukvården för sina barn och sig själv, även om hon är en gränsfallsdiabetiker i behov av medicin och hennes barn led av råttbett. Katherine försökte söka hjälp genom domstolarna. Hon representerade sig själv vid en administrativ utfrågning och förlorade sin vädjan om att återställa förmåner från Medi-Cal eftersom hon inte hade ordentlig dokumentation av hyreskontot. När hon gick till ett tingshus för att lämna in ett klagomål mot sin hyresvärd, fann hon processen så förvirrande att hon gav upp och gick hem. Enligt "The Path to Justice: A Five-Year Status Report on Access to Justice in California", utarbetad av California Commission on Access to Justice, är Katherine bara en av 4,6 miljoner fattiga kalifornier vars grundläggande civilrättsliga behov -- ofta involverar sådana kritiska behov som bostäder, sjukvård, utbildning, sysselsättning, säkerhet och transport -- inte tas upp. Kalifornien har en kritisk brist på juridiska tjänster för de fattiga, och som framgår av detta betänkande är det absolut nödvändigt att staten går med i den federala regeringen och privata finansiärer för att öka resurserna så att alla kalifornier, oavsett inkomst, har lika tillgång till vårt rättssystem. Vårt rättssystem bygger på antagandet att båda parter kommer att företrädas av advokater som fungerar som portvakter och vägleder genom ett komplext rättssystem som annars skulle vara otillgängligt för många av oss. Tyvärr har de mest utsatta medlemmarna i vårt samhälle minst råd med juridiska tjänster. Kalifornien har ett starkt nätverk av rättshjälpsorganisationer som försöker hjälpa till att möta de fattigas behov, men det finns bara en advokat tillgänglig per 10.000 fattiga människor. Vi kan lova "rättvisa för alla", men för dem som inte har råd med en advokat, det löftet är ofta en lögn. I sin nya rapport noterar kommissionen för tillgång till rättslig prövning några viktiga steg mot lika tillgång till rättslig prövning för alla kalifornier. Fråga: Vilka ståndpunkter har ordförandena för Kaliforniens kommission för tillgång till rättvisa? Svar: "Lash är biträdande dekanus vid University of Southern California Law School och Johnson är en rättvisa på Kaliforniens andra distrikts appellationsdomstol" Baserat på paragrafen, är svaret på frågan sakligt korrekt? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
