The Massachusetts Limited Appointed of Counsel Pursuant To The Pro Se Mediation Program is a free legal service that helps individuals who are representing themselves in mediation. The program provides individuals with access to a pro bono attorney who can provide legal advice and guidance in mediation. The attorney is appointed by the court and is required to follow certain standards of conduct. The program is designed to ensure that individuals who are representing themselves in mediation are provided with adequate legal advice and counsel. The program is available to those who cannot afford to retain an attorney to represent them in their mediation. Individuals must meet certain qualifications in order to be eligible for the program. These include being a Massachusetts resident, having a low-income, and having a dispute that is appropriate for mediation. The program has two types of attorneys: a lead attorney and a supporting attorney. The lead attorney is responsible for providing legal advice and guidance in the mediation process. The supporting attorney acts as an advisor to the lead attorney and assists in providing legal guidance. Both attorneys are subject to certain standards of conduct and must adhere to the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct. In addition, they must provide a written agreement to the court that outlines their understanding of the mediation process and the roles of the attorneys. The agreement must also specify the scope of representation, the fees for representation, and any other relevant information.
