Rising for Justice provides free, high-quality legal services and protects the rights of some 250,000 low-income DC residents. Each year, dozens of students from area law schools, joined by attorneys from local law firms, receive training on representing low-income clients. Attorneys conduct intake, provide client consultations, and participate in emergency hearings. For the thousands of DC residents at risk of homelessness, they are 19 times likelier to prevail if they are represented by a lawyer. This critical work is very much needed as we face the long road ahead.
