News & Announcements

November 13, 2006
Harvard Defenders launches a new website! The site includes expanded information on our free legal services, legal referral network, and client eligibility requirements.

In addition, the site provides information for students interested in joining Defenders, becoming involved in our Suffolk Lawyers for Justice program, or applying for one of our summer positions. The site contains answers to commonly asked questions to help prospective clients determine if we can help them, and annotated links to other legal service organizations. The spanish version of the Need Legal Assistance portion of the site will be available shortly.

We welcome your comments or suggestions on ways we can improve the site's content or design. Please email Maria Hermann with any comments. The site was designed by Jock & Buttons, an interactive design, print, and consulting firm based in Chicago, IL. Learn more about Jock & Buttons.
