Wendel Rosen is a proud
supporter of The Neighborhood Law Corps (NLC), a unique,
innovative community lawyering program. Proactive, neighborhood-based
and community-directed, the Neighborhood Law Corps brings
resources and remedies into Oakland's toughest neighborhoods
to address issues before they become embedded, long-term
problems. While the Neighborhood Law Corps represents
the City of Oakland, it works in collaboration with
residents, neighborhood and merchant groups, and other
public agencies to improve the quality of life in Oakland.
Please visit the NLC
Web site for more information about the organization.
It costs roughly $50,000
to fund one NLC attorney for one year of services, including
salary, benefits and support. The Corps currently has
three participating attorneys, but with additional funds,
could do even more. Visit the official NLC
web site to check out news about the group.
