The Justice Gap: Measuring the Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-income Americans report explores the “justice gap,” the difference between the civil legal needs of low-income Americans and the resources available to meet those needs in 2017.

However, there is no right to counsel in civil matters, and most low-income Americans are forced to go it alone without legal representation.
