Congratulations to Clinical Associate Professor Elizabeth M. Grant and Clinic Paralegal Jessie Des Jardines who have been named to the AALS Annual Pro Bono Honor Roll. The Association of American Law Schools honor roll recognizes "the pro bono work of individuals engaging in, expanding, and/or supporting their law school community in providing pro bono legal services." The pair's "tireless, long-standing work organizing the Athens Access to Justice Pop-up Clinics - events that law students attend regularly" - served as the basis for the nomination.
