NAACP to unveil campaign to address system they say discriminates against poor, disabled, minorities.

DETROIT -- The state's court system is dysfunctional, disparately funded and discriminatory toward the poor, the disabled and people of color, according to the Detroit branch of the NAACP, which will unveil a reform campaign today.
The civil rights organization, with the help of the Michigan ACLU, found six areas in the courts that it said were either unconstitutional or needed desperate change. The NAACP's legal counsel, Melvin Butch Hollowell, says the problems go back years.
"The system has gotten so dysfunctional we felt we couldn't wait any longer," Hollowell said. "We have an emergency situation in our courts."
The NAACP said it hopes that its campaign, called "And Justice for All," will drive the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Legislature to heed its call.
Civil rights leaders say the state doesn't offer poor people adequate defense, has a state judicial oversight commission that is all white and doesn't reflect the state's diversity and is not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
