2013 ANNUAL REPORT4

The Pro Bono Legal Services Program provides free legal advice and representation to low-income San Francisco residents facing legal issues including eviction, credit problems, child custody and child support, divorces and dissolution, domestic violence, and tax liabilities. JDC recruits, trains and supports hundreds of volunteers annually to provide these services. Our volunteers are partners and associates at law firms of all sizes, attorneys from in-house legal departments of major corporations and government offices, solo attorneys, and law school students.

PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES

The work of the Justice & Diversity Center (JDC) of The Bar Association of San Francisco (BASF) is focused through three programs: Pro Bono Legal Services, the Homeless Advocacy Project, and the Diversity Educational Programs.

HOMELESS ADVOCACY PROJECT The Homeless Advocacy Project (HAP) provides free legal and relat-ed social services to individuals and families who are homeless or at serious risk of becoming homeless. HAP excels at helping peo-ple address immediate legal crises that affect their ability to keep their housing or prevent them from obtaining stable housing, but our work does not stop there. HAP is a pioneer in providing holistic legal services. HAP identifies all aspects of an individual or family’s life that have led to the crisis, and then provides social services to stabilize their lives. The most common legal issues addressed at HAP are federal disability benefits advocacy, eviction defense and immigration documentation.

JDC Clients Include:Homeless individuals and familiesSurvivors of domestic violenceSenior citizensIndividuals and families facing evictionAdults with disabilitiesCommunity-based organizationsResidents of underserved neighborhoods, including Bayview Hunters PointMinority and underserved high school, college, and law school students

2013 ANNUAL REPORT6

Shabez Glenn is a 35 year-old man who lives in San Francisco. In 1998, while in high school, Shabez was in a car accident that paralyzed him from the neck down. He receives 24-hour live-in care, requires special medical equipment for his day-to-day care, and is often hospitalized for

conditions related to his paralysis.

After living in his apartment for over five years, one early morning in 2013, a sheriff’s deputy knocked on Shabez’s door and served him with eviction papers. Shabez was shocked, worried and upset. He had received no prior notice and had no idea why he was being evicted. Because of the circumstances, Shabez was granted a one-week extension. Shabez’s landlord was evicting him for “breach of lease,” claiming he had abandoned the apartment. Shabez was occasionally absent from the apartment when he was hospitalized, or visiting his mother or girlfriend. He never abandoned his apartment and never had another residence.

PROGRAMS IN ACTION

The case was difficult because of its late stage. HAP proved that Shabez’s failure to respond was due to “mis-take, surprise, or excusable neglect,” which is a difficult standard to meet. After several court appearances and a lot of paperwork, the judge granted Shabez’s motion for a trial. Once HAP responded to the lawsuit, HAP attorney Erin Katayama began pre-trial work, conducting discovery, depositions, and other pre-trial motions. Erin and Shabez went to court several times. After a few months, the landlord dropped the case against Shabez, without a settlement conference or trial.

Shabez said that without HAP’s assis-tance, he would have been “living all over the place, experiencing a lot of stress, and hospitalized even more often because I wouldn’t have been stable.” Despite his physical limitations, Shabez is an inspiration. He loves movies, going out to dinner, hanging out with friends, shopping, and has an amazing bond with his family, particularly his mother and brothers. He also plans to finish high school, and keeping his apartment is key to meeting that goal.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT8

PROGRAMS

JDC’s Diversity Educational Programs are provided in partner-ship with BASF to increase the diversity of the legal profession. The programs are designed to inspire minority students to pursue a career in law by removing barriers to college and law school attendance. Program outcomes for high school students include: nearly doubling the likelihood of attending a four-year college; summer internship opportunities in law firms, legal departments, and government offices with paid stipends; hands-on courtroom experience through Mock Trial, tutoring, and college tours.

Program outcomes for undergraduates include: access to informa-tion and resources about the legal profession; knowledge about how to increase the likelihood of being admitted to law school; scholarships and discounts for LSAT prep courses.

For minority law school students, JDC offers three-year scholarships to Bay Area law schools as well as mentoring and networking op-portunities. More than 85 students have received scholarships, to-taling over $1,600,000 in support. BASF further extends the reach of this program by providing support and networking to minority attorneys with an emphasis on mentoring.

@SFBar_Pipeline

The School-To-College (STC) program had 47 seniors this year. 100% of STC seniors will go to a 2 or 4 year college vs. 71% of non-enrolled students.


Kareem Dupree is a senior at the Academy of Arts and Sciences, having transferred to the school as a junior. He struggled tremendously with math and had low grades. In an effort to improve his grades, he began to work with JDC’s School-To-College math tutor, Doug Reed, every Tuesday and Thursday.

He stayed until all of his homework was completed and he gained the confidence do well on quizzes and tests while in class. Dupree soon learned that the extra time and help was what he needed to see his grades improve, and to feel better about himself and school.

JDC’s School-To-College program seeks to encourage diverse, low-income, and/or first-generation students to see college education as part of their future. STC offers students academic guidance, information, coach-ing, and college tours throughout the Bay Area and California. An STC coordinator meets with students weekly to help them stay on track and meet their goals, while volunteers assist students with college and

financial aid applications. The STC program, including the tutor and the STC coordinator, are fully funded by contributions to the Justice & Diversity Center from individual donors, law firms, corporations and foundations.

When asked about how math tutoring with Doug Reed has helped him, Dupree responded, “Mr. Reed not only helped me get my math grade from a D+ to a B+, he also helped my self-confidence when taking quizzes and tests in all my classes. He also gave me confidence to want to try harder. Mr. Reed is more than a math tutor; he is a friend and a motivator. I recommend anyone go to him for help.”

Dupree continues to earn a 3.0 or higher every semester, and is likely to receive an academic scholarship for college. He also hopes to receive a track and field athletic scholarship, because he puts just as much time into his passion for running as he does his academic homework. The School-To-College program’s support of Dupree has provided him with the tools and resources to im-prove his grades and prepare for college. Perhaps most impor-tantly, JDC’s School-To-College helped Dupree see that he has the strength and determination to succeed.

IMPACTIn 2013, JDC staff and over 1,900 volunteers assist-ed more than 9,000 clients with legal consultation and representation in nearly every area of civil law, providing legal services valued at just over $18 million. JDC is San Francisco’s largest pro-vider of free legal services.

JDC’s Diversity Educational Programs provide minority high school, college and law school students with opportu-nities to study the law, learn about legal careers, and gain support through mentoring, in-ternships, and scholarships.
