Washington State's justice system is founded on "the fundamental principle that the justice system is accessible to all persons".
Technology can provide increased pathways for access to justice, but it can also create significant barriers.
The ATJ Board is dedicated to ensuring that barriers to accessing the justice system are avoided or eliminated, and that pathways to the justice system and full and appropriate use of the system are optimized.
As a consequence and in that light, the Communications and Technology Committee of the Access to Justice Board undertook to consider what, if anything, could and should be done.
The Communications and Technology Committee concluded that an access to justice technology bill of rights is required.

The proposed regulations will establish the Environmental Justice Small Grant Program.
In adopting the Environmental Justice Small Grant, the Secretary has determined, in the absence of any state Environmental Justice Small Grant Program, that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Small Grant Program (which has been in existence since 1994) has demonstrated the successful delivery of environmental protection projects to communities working on environmental justice issues at a local level.
Therefore, the new regulations to adopt the Environmental Justice Small Grant Program will be similar to the existing U.S. EPA procedures, both for ease of use and to duplicate the success the U.S. EPA has had in funding projects that address environmental justice issues.
