The clinic faculty has grown this semester with the welcome addition of Professor Laurie Morin to the teaching staff. Although better known at UDC–DCSL for her work in academic support, Professor Morin is herself a business entrepreneur and has considerable experience representing artists and small businesses. Under her tutelage, clinic students will undertake a training program for the directors of a non-profit client in a concerted preventive law measure. Professor Morin joins existing teaching staff Professor Louise Howells and Professor Theodora Brown, whose expert services to the clinic are made possible by a grant from the D.C. Bar Foundation.

The Community Development Law Clinic continues to deliver much needed legal representation to a host of non-profit organizations and small businesses. In the fall semester, law student advocates Chris Brown, Vanessa Carlo-Miranda, Latrice Flucas, Raul Villalobos, and Shala Zokaie provided comprehensive legal services to eleven small business entrepreneurs and six non-profit organizations. The clinic is gearing up for another busy semester this spring with entering 2Ls Chris Busch, Teisha Dupree, Andrea Henson-Armstrong, Judith Ingram, Shelrese Leach, Dennis O’Connor, and Audra Pondish.
