My experience at the Legal Rights Center was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. The lessons I learned, and the people I met at Legal Rights Center made me realize how wide the world was. Legal Rights Center (LRC) is not a typical law firm. It is a non-profit law office, which is devoted to providing economically disadvantaged people and people of color with legal services in matters related to the criminal and juvenile justice system. In additions, the LRC helps clients deal with the risk factors (unemployment, chemical dependency, etc.) that preceded their involvement with the law. The LRC is involved in civil rights advocacy and in the field of Restorative Justice. Restorative Justice programs provide alternative justice solutions to chargeable criminal offenses.

Thanks to my funding from the Dartmouth Partners In Community Service, I was able to do an internship with Womancare this summer. Womancare is a domestic violence prevention project in my hometown, which has served Piscataquis County for more than 20 years. Their staff of nine works together to run a 24-hour Helpline for domestic violence victims who are in crisis, and also to run support groups, provide legal support, run Hannah’s House, and also to work to raise community awareness. In just 9 weeks of working at the office (plus two weeks of training), I got to do a little bit of each of those things.
