Testimonials

Since its inception in 2005, the Community Law Project has helped hundreds of low income people navigate their way through the complexities of our legal system. CLP’s clients, law student interns, volunteer attorneys and community members have all expressed the value of a program such as CLP to the San Diego Community.

“I just wanted to express my overwhelming gratitude [for] helping me understand [that] what happened to me was a crime. The strength you all gave me to move forward is what I needed to seek justice for first, myself and then second for all women in the work place. We all deserve better and ya’ll helped me realize that. Thank you for existing CLP.”

Clinic Participant

“I have been volunteering with the Community Law Project since I became licensed and continue to maintain my commitment to helping the community by giving back. One of my favorite things about CLP is how such a small amount of my time makes such a big difference in people’s lives. It’s humbling to be able to make such a difference.”

CLP volunteer attorney

"The work at the clinic could be very emotionally taxing but it was very rewarding and fulfilling as well. Interacting with the clients and seeing firsthand the injustices they face helped me feel motivated and refocused on the reasons why I entered law school. I now feel even more passionate about graduating and getting to work to continue to support vulnerable communities."
