NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR |
|
|
At a time when our most vulnerable community members need legal advocacy more than ever, statewide studies show that the gap between Californians' legal needs and the attorneys available to meet them continues to widen. Our clinical students give me hope that we can and will narrow this justice gap, as they dedicate themselves to learning the skills they need to practice as “people lawyers” on behalf of indigent clients, whether as their primary careers or in meaningful pro bono work. Thank you for your support that makes this possible.
