The State Bar of Michigan supports many justice initiatives that help make available high-quality civil legal services to all Michigan citizens, assuring that the justice system is strong, equal, and fair in its application.
The Committee on Justice Initiatives is currently made up of 13 members; see the organizational chart. The committee meets throughout the year, and is organized into 4 major areas:
Criminal Issues Initiative—examines collateral civil consequences of criminal convictions and representational issues in the criminal justice system.
Equal Access Initiative—develops policies and programs to benefit underserved populations, including those with special needs, cognitive disabilities, and juveniles.
Justice Policy Initiative—analyzes and recommends positions on proposed legislation, court rules, and other policies relevant to the Justice Initiatives.
Pro Bono Initiative—encourages and coordinates free or discounted fees for civil legal services. Pro bono service is a way that Michigan attorneys assist low-income individuals in need of legal assistance.
