The New Leaders in Advocacy Award is presented each year to one rising attorney who exhibits extraordinary leadership early in their career as civil legal aid or indigent defense advocate.
PLA is proud of the advocacy work that Julia does, which you can read about at https://bit.ly/3jw7wlF
“PLA’s attorney advocates could have worked at corporate law firms, or gone into some form of private practice, yet we all chose to dedicate our legal careers to providing aid to the most vulnerable. Most of us were motivated to do this work by our strong belief in equal justice, that all who require access to the courts should not be denied such access, and that all should have a voice. The attorneys and non-attorney advocates at PLA strive to provide the highest quality of legal services to our clients because we believe in PLA’s mission of enforcing and protecting the right of individuals and families by providing accessible, creative, and high-quality legal assistance and working collaboratively for systemic change.”
