Abstract:
The authors assert the deleterious role that court costs, outpacing inflation and steadily rising the past two decades, are playing in indigent clients’ ability to afford justice at the same level of their more prosperous counterparts. Underscoring their argument about this impact are a chart that chronicles how district and superior court costs have exponentially risen between 1995-2015. They include as assertion of the costs associated with incarceration of individuals charged with minor offenses, associated costs to taxpayers perhaps preventable by clients being able to pay court costs accrued earlier in the legal process.

Abstract:
Dubbed the “trial of the century,” a court case filed in 2015 charged that pollution-generating activities were endangering the constitution rights of citizens between 9-21. Owens and Knocsol discuss Juliana v United States’ history and legal impact of this watershed court case. It serves as groundwork for their concluding plea: to combat the deleterious environmental impact of pollution-generating activities, particularly for the sake of present youth and future generations.
