The Young Lawyers Network Leadership Council hosted its annual fundraising event on Wednesday, July 20, 2022.

​

Event sponsors joined us in person for a rooftop happy hour and an evening of insightful conversation about the importance of diversity at all levels of the legal profession with Senator Doug Jones and a panel of DC Bar Foundation grantees, including:

• Stephanie Troyer of the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia

• Ariel Levinson Waldman of Tzedek DC

• Karen Newton Cole of Neighborhood Legal Services Program

​

We also had video remarks from Roger Fairfax, Dean and Professor of Law at American University's Washington College of Law, and Lisa Fairfax, Presidential Professor and Co-Director of the Institute for Law and Economics at the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law. You can watch their remarks here:

Thank you to our generous corporate and individual sponsors for raising OVER $68,000 for the District's civil legal aid network, far surpassing our goal of $50,000! These sponsorships provide critical unrestricted dollars to DC legal aid organizations and loan repayment support for legal aid attorneys.​

​

Thank you for supporting access to justice in the District.
