Transcript of the work of ebclcebclc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/AR-2011-12.pdf · Nixon Peabody LLP...
For people living in poverty, equal access to justice is not a theoretical
concept, it is the reality of a safety net keeping them from falling off
the edge. For those in need, access to excellent and free legal services
means having food, housing, health care, jobs, and protection against
abuse. For clients, the teams of EBCLC lawyers and law students
bear witness to their struggles, listen to their life stories, give voice
to their concerns, and advocate for their rights. EBCLC’s holistic,
multidisciplinary, and multi-modal approach means that clients are
treated as individuals with dignity, respect, and compassion, and not
simply as the sum of their legal issues.
For law students, the law is not just a theoretical concept, but a way
of thinking, understanding, and taking action within the existing legal
structures. For many students, legal doctrine comes to life through the
real world experience of working in a clinical program. EBCLC students
experience the fast-paced world of legal aid, where they have the
opportunity to provide vital legal services to clients in need, all under
the supervision of dedicated supervising attorneys.
Within this report are some highlights of EBCLC’s work to expand
justice through education and advocacy. These stories represent some
of the programs engaging hundreds of law students to serve thousands
of clients each year. They also demonstrate ways that EBCLC continues
to expand our services to creatively and effectively address the causes
and conditions of poverty. We invite you to support EBCLC’s work
and mission to increase and improve access to justice and create
communities that are secure, productive, healthy, and hopeful.

In addition to helping clients navigate legal crises and remove barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential, EBCLC’s work also seeks to create pathways to greater social and economic opportunity. EBCLC’s Green-Collar Communities Clinic’s (GC3) mission is to expand opportunity and generate wealth in low-income East Bay communities by providing transactional legal assistance to advance green, cooperative business ownership. GC3’s approach is to: Inspire, Inform, and Incubate.
Solar Richmond (SR) is a perfect example of a client that is creating a transformative enterprise. SR is a nonprofit that provides solar installation training to low-income Richmond residents and youth. GC3 is now working with SR to create a worker-owned solar panel installation cooperative that will provide jobs and ownership opportunities to their solar installation graduates.
Justice = Increased economic opportunities

Since EBCLC opened its doors in September 1988, we have trained nearly 1,300 law students in legal advocacy, equipping more than a generation of future attorneys with the hands-on skills necessary to work effectively on behalf of clients. In close partnership with Berkeley Law School at the University of California, EBCLC has developed one of the nation’s premier community clinics. Distinguished by an innovative teaching, service, policy advocacy, and research mission, EBCLC provides clinical education to law students through an emphasis on multidisciplinary, holistic practices and a commitment to developing replicable and translatable models of effective lawyering.

Ana Ramirez came to EBCLC overwhelmed and anxious because she was being harassed and sued for debt that she knew did not belong to her. Staff and students at the Neighborhood Justice Clinic discovered the error: the debt collector was suing the wrong Ana Ramirez. Through extensive negotiations to get the lawsuit dismissed, NJC contested the blemish on her credit report and cleared issues with her bank.
After resolving the lawsuit, Ana came back as a volunteer with EBCLC’s Immigration Clinic to help recent immigrants with DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) applications.
“When I came to NJC because I was sued for a debt I knew was not mine I was scared, but my advocate believed me, kept me informed, and gave me hope. After the case was dismissed, I started volunteering with EBCLC’s Immigration Clinic. I am thankful I have the opportunity to help not only myself but others.”
