Pro Bono for the Non-Litigator

Owen Blank and Jarell Hunt have written an article on "Pro Bono for the Non-Litigator," published in the November issue of Multnomah Lawyer. In the article, the two lawyers share their experience working with Lewis & Clark's Small Business Legal Clinic (SBLC) and encourage others to participate in the program. Seventy-five percent of the SBLC's clients are minorities, immigrants, or women. Many are M/WSB (Minority and Women Business Enterprises) certified by the state. The connection between the lack of participation by these groups in business ownership and the ever-increasing income inequality in our nation is inescapable. Helping these businesses grow and succeed offers a way for non-litigators to enhance social justice.
