University of Baltimore School of Law

"I've witnessed firsthand the critical role that legal aid organizations play in our communities. In a system where justice can sometimes feel out of reach for those without means, MLA stands as a beacon of hope, ensuring that everyone has access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation. This fellowship has reinforced my commitment to public interest law and social justice. It has sharpened my legal skills, deepened my understanding of the issues facing low-income individuals and families, and strengthened my resolve to continue fighting for equal access to justice."
