Amelia Caramadre, Esq., MPH; Civil Rights Attorney, Kaplan & Grady.
Amelia works on cases at the intersection of public health and civil rights, including by litigating cases protecting the civil rights of people with substance use disorders and people who use drugs. She co-founded and co-runs the country's first private law firm practice group dedicated to these issues at Kaplan & Grady.
After completing her JD and MPH, Amelia was selected for a Justice Catalyst fellowship and became the inaugural Health Law Fellow for the Action Lab at the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law where her focus was harm reduction and civil rights for people with substance use disorders. Amelia furthered policy initiatives, developed research, published literature, and represented clients protecting their access to necessary addiction treatment in jails and prisons. She was named on the Association of American Law School’s Pro Bono Honor Roll for her work with the Action Lab.
Prior to her fellowship, Amelia worked in criminal defense where she used her public health and science background to develop innovative and equitable outcomes for the firm’s clients, including contributing to resolutions that were immigration safe and evidence based.
