On the occasion of her birthday, Legal Aid Lawyer Laurie Davison is remembered this Oct. 11 by colleagues as a generous mentor and brilliant legal scholar. She pursued cases that changed law, improved lives and got the attention of the U.S. Supreme Court. In her honor, MMLA Minneapolis, at the behest of Attorney Anne Robertson, is now home to the “Laurie Davison Memorial Civil Rights Law Library.”
“I kept getting denied and it’s so hard to deal with a kid with disabilities when you don’t get help,” Connell says. “It’s so, so stressful. You have to figure out everything and deal with this and that. I didn’t know which way to go, and I was getting doors slammed in my face. My friend told me to try Legal Aid.”
