DADE LEGAL AID LEADERSHIP ACADEMY CLASS VII
Dade Legal Aid launched Class VII of the Dade Legal Aid (“DLA”) Leadership Academy bringing together young leaders of our community from diverse backgrounds whose distinguished resumes reflect their accomplishments as well as their concerns for the profession. They have excelled in their areas of practice, accepted pro bono cases, hosted events, and pledged to do more for the community. The goals of Dade Legal Aid's Leadership Academy are to enhance fellows’ leadership skills and civic engagement by connecting them with Legal Leaders of influential firms, members of the judiciary and clients in need. During the year, will develop a deeper understanding about issues facing Dade Legal Aid clients and the indigent in our community and participate in a community service project. Meet our 2022-2023 Fellows:
The Dade Legal Aid Leadership Academy is a very special program designed to mentor the next generation of leaders in our legal community by emphasizing pro bono service as an integral part of the practice of law. The ongoing success of the program is a testament to their commitment to help underrepresented individuals navigate the legal system."
