COVID-19 Response Project
The Feerick Center for Social Justice’s COVID-19 Response Project (CRP), in collaboration with Legal Assistance of Western New York (Law NY), welcomes alumni to join our pro bono effort to provide remote pro bono legal assistance for end-of-life planning to help low-income seniors in Western New York.
