Sue Ann Savas Receives Award from Department of Justice-Byrne JAG Program

Congratulations to Sue Ann Savas who has just received an award from the Department of Justice-Byrne JAG Program via the Michigan State Appellate Defender Office. A brief description of the project follows:

The State Appellate Defender Office (SADO) secured a grant from the
Department of Justice to develop, implement and evaluate the "Social Work
Sentencing Project." A social worker and attorney form a dyad to advocate
and represent indigent clients at new sentencing hearings on appeal.  The
CC-PEG will provide evaluation services for the Social Work Sentencing
Project.
