Roe v. Intellicorp

6/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Back in 2011, a client came through the clinic to expunge her record.  We provided her with the same post-clinic consultation to ensure that her rights are protected.  And so we discovered that one of the largest background check companies, Intellicorp Records Inc., sold instant background check reports--thereby reporting expunged records.

The case was filed as a nationwide class action and was settled for $18.6 million, sending a large ripple through the background check industry.  Last week, the court entered the final order approving the settlement--and Intellicorp Records, Inc. no longer sells unverified, instant background check reports.  It's a confirmation of this clinic's core strategy.

We saw a lot of demand in Long Beach when we held a couple of pilot clinics there.  As a result, the Clinic decided to alternate the clinic location between our usual location in Watts and the new location in Long Beach.  (The flyer is attached at the end of this post.)

Watts Clinic: February, April, June, August, October & December
WLCAC Bernice Watkins Vision Complex
10957 S. Central Ave., Los Angeles, 90059

Long Beach Clinic: January, March, May, July, September & November
Centro C.H.A., Center for Working Families
1900 S. Atlantic Ave., Long Beach, 90806

And we'd like to take this opportunity to again thank our volunteers for making this Clinic one of the largest clinics of its kind in California!

Reentry Legal Clinic in Long Beach 

5/23/2012

0 Comments

 
A New Way of Life Reentry Project--the host community-based organization for Reentry Legal Clinic--opened a new office in Long Beach recently, in partnership with Long Beach City Councilmember Dee Andrews.  As part of that collaboration, we are also starting a clinic down in Long Beach.  It will be hosted by Central C.H.A., Inc. in their Center for Working Families.  The first clinic is scheduled for September 15, 2012.  A follow-up clinic will be held 2 months later, on November 17, 2012.  This is a "pilot" project for the time being.  Depending on the turnout, we may make it (1) permanent and (2) monthly.  Stay tuned.

the summer blues

6/16/2011

Since this clinic depends largely on law student volunteers, we struggle through the summer months (June, July, August) when the vast majority of them become unavailable for various reasons.  3Ls go MIA studying for the bar.  Many 2Ls and 1Ls leave for internship outside LA.  This year, we seriously considered shutting down the clinic for the three months as a result.  No one wanted to see that happen, so we instead decided to, for the first time, limit the number of participants who are allowed to register for each month's clinic.  Anticipating between 6 and 8 volunteers, we set the limit  at 12.

This past clinic, held on June 11, 2011, we had a huge turnout of volunteers.  True, we had a big drop-off in the number of law school volunteers, but so many others stepped up.  So thank you!  As a result, we're increasing the registration limit for the month of July to 18--a 50% increase from June.  In August, depending on how July turns out, we may increase it to 27--another 50% increase! (Maybe...)
