The Community Law division of Metropolitan Public Defenders (MPD) focuses on barrier reduction work for people involved in, or at risk of involvement in, the criminal justice system. They partner with government agencies and community based organizations to work together to help participants navigate the legal system and remove barriers.
By providing a holistic, collaborative, person-centered model they increase the likelihood of positive outcomes for clients. Their collaborative approach involves partnering with teams and organizations who are already advocating for the person. Such teams may be in the social service, community health or public defense worlds. MPD coordinates and works together with the existing team to do whatever they can as lawyers to help meet the person’s goals and desired outcomes. Sometimes that means representation on a legal case, but often it will mean negotiating a non-legal matter or navigating an increasingly complex bureaucracy to obtain basic rights and benefits with the goal of making a positive, measurable difference in people’s lives.
