关于我们
The Committee is a 15-member body appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. It oversees the provision of legal representation to indigent persons in criminal and civil cases and administrative proceedings in which there is a right to counsel. We provide legal representation in Massachusetts for those unable to afford an attorney in all matters in which the law requires the appointment of counsel. This includes representation in criminal, delinquency, youthful offender, child welfare, mental health, sexually dangerous person and sex offender registry cases, as well as related appeals and post-conviction matters. Representation is provided by a combination of approximately 500 staff attorneys and 3,000 private attorneys trained and certified to accept appointments. Support for and supervision of these attorneys is provided by the Private Counsel and Public Defender Divisions (for criminal cases and related matters), the Children and Family Law Division (for child welfare cases), the Youth Advocacy Division (for delinquency, youthful offender, and GCL revocation cases), and the Mental Health Litigation Division (for guardianships and mental health/substance abuse commitments). Additionally, the Immigration Impact Unit provides attorneys within all divisions with training, litigation support and advice in individual cases regarding immigration consequences for noncitizens clients.

Congratulations to incoming CPCS PDD Trial Attorney Preetham Chippada for winning the 75th Annual National Moot Court Competition. After winning the regional competition, the BU Law Moot Court team (pictured left to right: ACTL president?Richard H. Deane Jr., Henry Drembus, Michael Gorman, and Preetham Chippada) advanced to the national competition. The team won six consecutive oral argument rounds and ultimately won the championship. This marks the first time BU Law has won the National competition and the first time a school from Massachusetts has won since the 1970s. Preetham argued that a visually-impaired tester plaintiff has Article III standing to sue an inaccessible website for noncompliance with the?ADA and that the defendant's website is a public accommodation?under the?ADA. His argument from the final round is available here: https://lnkd.in/dF332Eva
