The Colorado Lawyers Committee (CLC) announced on Thursday the nominees for their upcoming annual awards luncheon, which will take place on September 27, 2023.
Each year, the CLC honors individuals and organizations that have contributed significantly to the Committee’s mission to provide pro bono legal support to disadvantaged and underserved communities.
The Denver Legal Night team, which is comprised of a few volunteer lawyers, CLC staff members, and the Centro San Juan Diego team, ensures the ongoing success of the free legal clinics that take place every first and third Wednesday of each month at Centro San Juan Diego. This team, along with three others, have been nominated for the CLC Team of the Year award!
Centro San Juan Diego is proud to serve a vital role on this team and is grateful for the opportunity to continue its long-standing partnership with the Colorado Lawyers Committee in its efforts to provide legal assistance and resources to the community. Thank you for recognizing the team with this nomination!
