JOIN THE ASSIGNED COUNSEL PROGRAM Save Lives, Save Families.
In 1962, the Bar Association of Erie County created the Assigned Counsel Program to help those who cannot help themselves, who face steep odds against the power of the State, and who struggle with poverty, mental issues, helplessness, and dread. The attorneys in the Program save lives and save families. Panel attorneys are the first line of defense for the freedoms granted to us by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Program provides training and support to the panel attorneys, including mentoring, case conferences, CLE, and social worker assistance for your client.
