Julian Wright Speaks on Unmet Legal Needs at the North Carolina Faith and Justice Alliance Steering Committee

Robinson Bradshaw attorney Julian H. Wright Jr. presented at the inaugural meeting of the North Carolina Faith and Justice Alliance Steering Committee on June 5. Serving as co-chair of the committee, Wright discussed unmet legal needs in the state and how the Alliance can effectively assist local communities and faith-based groups with legal resources.

Led by Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, the meeting was streamed live to the public. The Alliance is a program of the North Carolina Equal Access to Justice Commission, which was created by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in 2005 to convene stakeholders and explore solutions to expand access to the civil justice system for people of low income and modest means in North Carolina. Wright serves as vice chair of the Commission.
