High court launches Justice For All Commission
The Michigan Supreme Court has created the Michigan Justice For All Commission to expand access to and enhance the quality of the civil legal justice system in Michigan.
The commission will lead the implementation of the JFA Task Force’s Strategic Plan that was released in December 2020. Its aim is to help people solve civil legal problems, such as landlord-tenant issues or family law disputes.
Chief Justice McCormack
“All Michigan residents must have equal access to our courts and to resources needed to navigate our justice system, regardless of who they are, what they earn, or where they come from,” Chief Justice Bridget M. McCormack said. “With dedicated and diverse members, the JFA Commission has the roadmap, commitment, and focus to close the justice gap in Michigan.”
