Call for Candidates! Chair, Maryland Access to Justice Commission
The Maryland Access to Justice Commission (A2JC) seeks a respected legal leader to serve as its chair. Current chair, the inimitable Ward Coe, has blazed a trail for the independent A2JC since the start of his tenure in 2015. Under his leadership, the Commission has expanded in its visibility, influence, and impact and helped ensure that everyone, regardless of ability to pay, has a fair shake at justice. The Commission has initiated a search for a new chair, who we expect to provide visionary and inspirational leadership, elevate A2JC’s voice across legal, civic, and policy landscapes, and be a champion of fair, equitable, and accessible civil justice for all Marylanders. This volunteer leadership role is ideal for an attorney committed to equity and systemic reform who can invest their time and talents to lead the Commission into an era of growth and deeper impact.
