The Michigan Supreme Court named Rob Buchanan, State Bar of Michigan president and Grand Rapids attorney, and Deborah Hughes, Kent County Legal Assistance Center’s executive director, to its newly created Justice for All Commission.
The commission is designed to implement a Justice for All (JFA) Strategic Plan that works toward the goal of 100% access to the civil justice system. The plan aims to help more individuals solve civil legal problems such as landlord-tenant issues, family law disputes such as parenting time or custody, and access to benefits.
“I am honored to work closely with Rob on the JFA Commission,” Justice Brian Zahra said. “His extensive legal expertise and leadership in the profession make him uniquely qualified to help Michigan take steps toward opening the doors of justice widely for our neighbors, our communities and people statewide.”
