| Two
Members of Class of 2007 Named as Equal Justice Works
Fellows |
Two
third-year students — Cristina Dacchille
and Ambika Panday — were awarded Equal
Justice Works fellowships to begin next fall. They
both received early offers and are incredibly deserving
students.
Dacchille will be working with the Medical-Legal Partnership
for Children (formerly the Family Advocacy Project at
the BMC), where she did a co-op. She will be helping citizen-children
in mixed-status families access and maintain public benefits
to which they are entitled under Massachusetts law. Her
project was sponsored by Pfizer.
Panday will be working at Greater Boston Legal Services
in the Welfare Law Unit, where she did a co-op, advocating
on behalf of families headed by a parent with disabilities
for equal and effective access to welfare and other public
benefits and services. Her project will focus on parents
who are immigrants, are disabled, and/or who have additional
obstacles to securing income or navigating bureaucracies.
She will establish a new partnership with Massachusetts
General Hospital, which will refer families to her for
legal representation. Her project was sponsored by Greenberg
Traurig. |
