Hilda Chan ’12 Receives ABA Fellowship

Hilda Chan ’12 was one of four law students to receive a summer fellowship from the American Bar Association’s John J. Curtin Justice Fund Legal Internship Program. Chan will intern in San Diego at the Supportive Parents Information Network, a grassroots anti-poverty organization that defends safety-net programs through community organizing, direct legal services, and policy-based advocacy. The Curtin Justice Fund, managed jointly by the ABA’s Commission on Homelessness and Poverty and Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants, provides students with a $2,500 stipend to work with legal organizations serving the homeless and low-income clients.
