In this episode of Missouri Law Matters, Judge Matt Hamner sits down with Judge Corey Moon to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing rural Missouri: legal deserts.
What happens when there are fewer than one lawyer for every 1,000 people? Many rural counties in Missouri have only a judge and a prosecutor – leaving residents without meaningful access to legal help.
Together, Judge Hamner and Judge Moon explore:
Why rural areas struggle to recruit and retain attorneys
How community service and engagement impact legal access
Incentive programs from other states, like South Dakota
The growing role of technology in law and virtual hearings
Why access to justice matters for every Missourian
This conversation highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions and ongoing efforts by Missouri courts and the Missouri Bar to address gaps in access to justice.
