La Alianza Workers’ and Tenants’ Rights Clinic Q&A (with cupcakes!)

Come to Steinhart Courtyard, meet current student leaders of La Alianza Workers’ and Tenants’ Rights Clinic, and enjoy a tasty cupcake!

La Alianza Workers’ and Tenants’ Rights Clinic is the oldest SLPS project at Berkeley Law. The SLP is divided into two parts, the Workers’ Rights clinic and the Tenants’ Rights clinic. This fall, the Workers’ Rights clinic is taking a pause. The Workers’ Rights clinic is likely to resume in the spring. The Tenants’ Rights clinic will continue to operate in the Fall and Spring as it has in past years. Students will have the opportunity to hone their interviewing, client service, and legal research and analysis skills. Students will likely have the opportunity to write demand letters, complaints, Civil Rights violation claims, and Rent Board petitions. Interested students may also be able to help with policy initiatives, testify at city council hearings, attend hearings, help plan educational events and panels about housing and employment issues, and get involved in local community actions.

Time Commitment: 10-15 hours per semester, with the opportunity for more.
