the work of ebclc

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

“EBCLC not only trains Berkeley Law students to be excellent and principled lawyers, EBCLC inspires them to work to expand access to justice and address the underlying causes and conditions of poverty throughout their legal careers.”

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.”
