Hi everyone! My name is Nancy and this is my last post as the person creating and sharing social content for JusticeCorps here. I started my journey as an Academic Year service member at Chatsworth Courthouse as a college junior and continued through the summer. From my senior year onward, I served as a University Rep. and ambassador for the program to pay my service experience forward and help recruit new members who provide much-needed legal aid across the county.
Helping underserved parents and partners in L.A. navigate the complexities of our legal system was an especially meaningful experience. As a JC, I was able to assist litigants who couldn’t afford attorney representation with petitions and responses to orders in Family Law cases and provided assistance in my native language, Armenian.
Hearing a sigh of relief from a litigant at the end of an appointment was the most rewarding part of my service. This experience making tangible applications of the law to serve local litigants one-on-one led me on the pursuit for greater capacity to help people obtain relief through the law.
I’m excited to continue this journey at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law as a 1L and am beyond grateful to everyone at JusticeCorps for all the opportunities to mentor, be creative, learn, grow, and provide equal access to justice to our community!
