Broderick Appointed to Access to Justice Commission

The D.C. Court of Appeals has appointed Dean Shelley Broderick to the D.C. Access to Justice Commission, which seeks to increase significantly the resources for civil legal services, improve planning and coordination of legal services delivery, and reduce other barriers preventing equal access to justice.  The Commissioners include the D.C. Court of Appeals and Superior Court judges, past Presidents of the D.C. Bar, Executive Directors of leading legal services providers, and other community leaders.  The Court of Appeals established the Commission for an initial term of three years.  In October 2007 the Court issued an Order continuing the work of the Commission indefinitely.
