Welcome to DCLSIC

Auction & Reception 2010

D.C. Law Students In Court will be hosting our first Auction & Reception on Thursday May 20th, 2010 at the Washington Home of Stewart R. Mott in Washington, D.C.

Proceeds from the auction will ensure that low-income DC individuals and families continue to receive high-quality legal assistance and representation in our Civil and Criminal Divisions. Contributions will also help to create leaders in our community, leaders who can share their new knowledge about their rights and the judicial system with family members or friends in crisis, leaders who may become the Pro Bono Counsel at their firm, who work in public interest or volunteer in their community.

Through your support, you will be with our students and attorneys every day as they fight for their clients. The need for high quality legal representation for low-income individuals is even more important today as it was when LSIC began more than forty years ago. We hope you can join us on May 20 to continue the fight for justice.
