About the Committee

The mission of The Legal Aid and Public Defense Committee is to provide a forum for Connecticut's legal aid and public defense attorneys to develop a supportive network of lawyers, exchange ideas, and learn about issues of shared interest. Broadly, the Legal Aid and Public Defense Committee works to advance the promise of equal access to justice for people in Connecticut who are economically-disadvantaged. The Committee works to maintain and enhance effective civil legal aid and criminal indigent defense delivery systems by providing guidance, information, training, education, and technical assistance.
