CPCS' Kristen Gondim, Colleen Brady and Kateen Kumar had an incredible evening at the 2024 Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers Brink Dinner. The event was held to celebrate the mission of supporting the legal community through mental health, substance abuse use disorders, well-being and law office practice management. It was an honor to hear from all the esteemed speakers including Chief Justice Kim Budd of the Supreme Judicial Court. It was truly a celebration and commitment to the continued well-being of our legal community in Massachusetts. A big thank you to Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers!

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.
