  Pennsylvania Board of Directors, will speak about
  ongoing efforts to support and protect vulnerable immigrant communities.

  in Pennsylvania have access to a quality public
  education.

  of the Juvenile Law Center, will report on the
  many ways JLC is advocating for the rights of
  youth in the child welfare and justice systems.  

• Michael Churchill, HLS '65 and Of Counsel at the 
  Public Interest Law Center (formerly PILC's
  managing partner and co-director), will discuss
  the PILC's redistricting litigation and the school
  funding challenge that PILC is spearheading with
  the Education Law Center. 

• Jessica Hillburn-Holmes, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Bar Foundation, and Deborah Gross,
  Trustee of the Philadelphia Bar Foundation, will
  describe the forthcoming Equal Justice Center, a groundbreaking non-profit space that will be home
  to almost 20 public service legal aid agencies and
  social services organizations, and a resource for all Philadelphians seeking equal access to justice.
