Access to Justice Is Everyone's Issue: Inside the Work of LASCO
What happens when justice depends on whether you can afford a lawyer?
Most people know they have a right to an attorney in criminal court. Fewer realize that no such guarantee exists in civil cases - where families can lose their homes, their children, or access to critical benefits.
In this episode of the ALC Changemakers Podcast, Jennifer Sconyers talks with Kate McGarvey, Executive Director of Legal Aid of Southeast and Central Ohio (LASCO), about leading a mission-driven organization that works every day to close that justice gap. Kate shares how LASCO has built an agile, community-centered organization that adapts to changing needs while staying grounded in its purpose: increasing access to justice for Ohioans who need it most.
