The Project
Mai worked with legal service providers and community based organizations statewide to identify legal needs that exist in rural and isolated communities and leverage volunteers to help organizations serve low-income Californians in need. This project addressed the need for free legal assistance to isolated and rural low-income communities.
What’s Next?
Now that Mai has completed her Fellowship, she is a staff attorney at OneJustice, where she organizes free legal clinics for isolated and rural low-income communities in California through the Justice Bus Project.
I believe that access to legal assistance should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford it.
