Michigan Campaign for Justice - Fighting for a fair and effective public defense system

Michigan Report Card

On February 18, 2009, the Campaign for Justice released a report card on Michigan's public defense system.

The Michigan Public Defense System Report Card is based on the Eleven Principles of a Public Defense Delivery System, adopted by the State Bar of Michigan’s Representative Assembly in 2002, and the findings of a comprehensive study of Michigan’s public defense system completed by the National Legal Aid and Defender Association, released in June 2008.
