The Prison Legal Assistance Project (PLAP) is a student-run clinical program in which students represent inmates in Massachusetts state prisons. PLAP student attorneys argue at disciplinary hearings on behalf of prisoners charged with violating prison regulations. PLAP students also argue before the Massachusetts Parole Board for prisoners facing parole revocation or rescission. PLAP provides inmates with legal research assistance in matters ranging from civil rights violations to confiscated property. Student attorneys testify at prison regulation notice-and-comment sessions, and address inmate support groups. Occasionally, PLAP students even litigate cases in state and federal court. Students are supervised and instructed by attorney John Fitzpatrick. Pamela Cameron is the Administrative Coordinator for the office.
