On April 5, 2019 the the WilmerHale Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School celebrated its 40th anniversary with the first-ever alumni event that brought together faculty, graduates, current students, and current and former staff to commemorate 4 decades of training more than 4,000 attorneys and law students, and providing high quality, pro bono civil legal services to thousands of Greater Boston’s most vulnerable residents. The occasion also commemorated 25 years in LSC's current building, which was funded through the generosity of WilmerHale.
The evening portion of the celebration, which took place at Harvard Law School in Austin Hall's Ames Courtroom, featured a keynote address by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey (59:42), with welcome remarks by Dean John F. Manning ’85, and the presentation of the Bellow-Charn Champion of Justice Awards (23:03), named for Gary Bellow and Jeanne Charn who co-founded the center in 1979.
