The Bay State's commitment to making the courthouse door swing open for all, irrespective of the depth of their wallet, just notched an elevation as the Massachusetts Access to Justice Commission, in a grand reveal today, announced the enlistment of legal eagle Gordon Shaw to its ranks and rolled out the glossy pages of its Annual Report for 2022-2023.
In the bustle of Boston, the Commission, a harbinger of judicial fairness since 2005, has time and again litigated against the shadows of disparity in the legal realm, striving to arm the economically beleaguered with the sword of representation in critical civil litigations: one might be combating the onslaught of eviction, one might be skirmishing in the trenches of consumer debt, or another might be entrenched in family law embroilments, according to a mass.gov announcement.
Supreme Judicial Court Justice Serge Georges, Jr., seemed to trumpet the ascension of Attorney Shaw, with a résumé that reads like a crusader's chronicle—Shaw, presently the Director of Client Access at Community Legal Aid, has not just foot-soldiered through the ranks of the Justice for All Strategic Planning Process but has also co-chaired the Commission’s Ecosystem Committee, joined the COVID-19 leadership coalition, and now sits co-chairing the newly-minted Standing Technology and Data Advisory Committee, "We are pleased to welcome Gordon Shaw, Director of Client Access at Community Legal Aid, to the Commission," said Justice Georges, as mentioned by mass.gov.
