Many Americans will face legal issues at some point in their life. Yet, across the nation, a persistent access to justice gap exists. Individuals with significant financial resources are often the only people who can hire attorneys, and a large class of people struggle to access a lawyer at all. Charlotte Goodenow ’24 is one Colorado Law alumni working to close the access to justice gap. Goodenow was named an Equal Justice Works Fellow this past spring, and will spend the next two years working at Community Economic Defense Project, a Denver-based non-profit.
