After the summer fellowship [at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles], I have an inspired sense of how public interest attorneys must manage their client’s desperation through the judicial process. The lawyers I worked with showed kindness, patience and precision in handling the legal matters of our client’s lives and even in a highly chaotic environment remained focused on securing justice for the client. For all of the above reasons this summer gave me a better sense of why I am here, in law school, and why I am pursuing social justice law. Because of Equal Justice America’s Summer Fellowship I was able to use my skills to advocate for the rights of women and I will continue to do so for the rest of my legal career. Thank you for your generosity and the opportunity to serve.
