Purpose
The mission of the task force is to explore the feasibility of a civil right to counsel in Minnesota.  The task force should be fact-finding in nature, with the goal of providing a thorough analysis of whether there exists a basis to establish a civil right to counsel, and how such a right would affect the legal services delivery, public defense, county attorney and judicial systems in Minnesota.
