Over the next two years, under Kary's leadership, the Law Center diversified its programmatic activities and its funding base, establishing an Environmental Justice Project in 1994 and a Cities Reinvestment Project in 1995. Information about each of these projects is available on this website. Julie will be returning the head the Law Center in September 1998. The GLC now receives financial support from foundations, unions, individuals, and from attorneys fees obtained through litigation. The GLC conducts an annual fundraising drive each fall, participates in payroll deduction campaigns for federal and state employees, and organizes special events several times each year to raise funds, expand its base of donors, and engage in public education around important issues of economic justice.
Law students perform an important role in all work and are highly valued for their contributions.
The staff works closely with cooperating local counsel on all litigation, thus ensuring that the GLC is able to maintain a national focus and operate efficiently and effectively. Our work has been reported in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, local newspapers around the country, the Great Lakes Radio Consortium, National Public Radio, Metrotimes, the National Law Journal, among other publications.
