Earlier this month Judge Lippman delivered a Law Day speech in Albany arguing for an even broader vision of justice, one that includes guaranteeing a lawyer for poor people in civil disputes where basic needs are at stake, like evictions and foreclosures. He plans to hold hearings around the state before unveiling a detailed plan next year. We applaud Judge Lippman’s new initiative. Equal justice demands adequate legal representation for all. That is especially important in tough times.
