As we say goodbye to our 2016 summer Interns and Fellows, we look at the careers of two of our Alumni, including a former Intern who has dedicated over 30 years to public interest law and a former Fellow who has recently started her career. Then, we'll spotlight a program that has undergone a transformation to better serve those in need. Finally, our Board Member Spotlight will introduce our new Board President, who will serve in this capacity for the next two years.
"I have found that my passions are working on justice gap issues. I feel very lucky to have been able to spend my legal career in various public service endeavors."
"My commitment to service is at the center of my legal practice. I find my community service and pro bono work to be deeply rewarding, and a way to give my time and skills to improve the court system, the legal profession and the lives of the people we serve."
"The new IllinoisLegalAid.org is designed to deliver an excellent user experience regardless of device, and comprehensive and accessible legal information, lawyer referrals and opportunities for learning about Illinois civil law."
"There is such a great need in our state to provide legal services to those of limited means. PILI can help attorneys answer the call to make a difference in their communities."
