In July 2025, the D.C. Courts’ Civil Legal Regulatory Reform Task Force released a proposal recommending authorization of a Community Justice Worker program in the District of Columbia. On October 2, Frontline Justice submitted a public comment supporting the proposal and commending the Court for seeking to expand the pool of legal service providers in the U.S. Capitol.
The comment encouraged the Court to adopt a flexible supervision framework that allows community justice workers to be embedded in trusted community spaces like schools, reentry programs, health clinics, and faith centers while maintaining oversight and accountability through partnerships with legal aid organizations.
If you’d like to support these efforts, the deadline to submit a public comment is October 31.
