Meet Ellie, Our Legal Intern

 We would like to recognize our wonderful summer intern, Ellie Halodick, who will graduate in 2021 from Indiana University McKinney School of Law. Ellie completed her undergrad at Roanoke College with a major in International Relations and a concentration in Peace and Justice Studies. 

This summer, Ellie assisted in drafting petitions and motions in areas such as Dissolution of Marriage, Guardianships, and Expungements. Ellie said she learned the complexity and importance of the expungement process in the criminal justice system first-hand through observing the Marion County Re-Entry Court Program. Through her internship, Ellie was able to sit in on client meetings, prepare legal research for discovery, and learn the procedures of court hearings.

Ellie said she is "so thankful to have had the experience this summer and will never forget the compassion of the staff and attorneys, and the impact that Indianapolis Legal Aid Society has within our community."

Unfortunately for us, Ellie's classes started again. But we are keeping our fingers crossed that she will be able to intern for us again in the near future!
National Urban League's Street Law Clinic

Indy Legal Aid was invited to attend the National Urban League's Annual Conference and their 4th Annual Pro Bono Legal Clinic on Saturday, July 27, 2019, at the Indiana Convention Center.

The mission of the Clinic was to inform and impact as many lives as possible in one day. One of the goals of the clinic was having volunteer attorneys provide on-the-spot legal advice to members of the community on a wide array of topics: from landlord-tenant, family law, probate, employment, small business and intellectual property issues to law enforcement interaction, record expungement, school discipline, immigration, and voter registration.

Indy Legal Aid talked with Clinic attendees about our services, along with registering a number of individuals to meet with our attorneys in the Indy Legal Aid office. The photo features our knowledgeable paralegal, Sarah Harvey, registering Clinic attendees.

We were honored to be a part of this event to help more Hoosiers in Central Indiana!
