\u201cLawyers belong to the people by birth and interest, and to the aristocracy by habit and taste; they may be looked upon as the connecting link of the two great classes of society.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\u2013 Alexis de Tocqueville<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

America relies on the legal profession for resolution of society\u2019s most pressing challenges. \u00a0As such, basic principles of equity demand that the bench and bar include representation from all corners of American life, particularly from communities disconnected from traditional loci of power due to economic insecurity and poverty. \u00a0A logical starting point, therefore, is legal education; the training ground and required prerequisite to the practice of law. \u00a0The extent to which low-income and first-generation law students not only secure access to a legal education, but then experience a feeling of inclusion and belonging on campus and in the classroom, sets the stage for their development as a political class committed to advancing a set of common interests. \u00a0The innovative law professor and therapist intervention advocated in Monica\u2019s program provides a low-cost way to support and build solidarity among first-generation and low-income students in the law school setting. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
