Throughout its history, AJS has worked closely with national, state and local bar associations and other organizations to develop and implement justice system reforms.  AJS has worked closely with justice system stakeholders and the broader public in Tennessee to study and promote a range of improvements to judicial selection, judicial ethics, access to the courts, and the criminal justice system.
