NCCRC in the news
NCCRC Coordinator John Pollock appeared on WNPR in July 2017 and on the Lawyerist Podcast in August 2017 to discuss the right to counsel in civil cases.
About
The NCCRC works towards recognition of a right to counsel for indigent litigants in civil cases involving basic human needs such as housing, health, domestic violence, and child custody. The 2016 Annual Report of the Public Justice Center (our host organization) discusses the NCCRC.
