Culminating in a keynote address by Governor Newsom’s Judicial Appointments Secretary, the
Honorable Martin J. Jenkins (ret.)
, Public Law Center’s 2019 Volunteers for Justice Dinner honored the
University of California, Irvine School of Law
(represented by Associate Dean Carrie Hempel),
Latham & Watkins LLP
(represented by Partner Michele Johnson), and
Sean M. Sherlock
of Snell & Wilmer LLP.
Proceeds from the evening will allow
PLC to deliver over $6 million in additional life-changing civil legal aid
to Orange County low-income residents. One of the most successful ever, the
event raised $752,000
to support PLC’s mission; and, thanks to our leve
raging
of resources through pro bono volunteers,
we will provide $8 of free legal services for every $1 we raised
. On behalf of PLC Board President Mark Erickson and the entire Board of Directors, I thank all of our attendees and supporters for changing lives for the better throughout Orange County.
With love and gratitude,
Ken Babcock
