2022 Virtual Law Day Celebration: Stronger Together

May 05, 2022 | 6:30 pm | Online

Thank you for joining us for Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid's 41st Annual Law Day Celebration on May 5, 2022!

This year’s on-line event highlighted our Disability Law Center (DLC), which helps people with disabilities statewide. DLC’s work makes a life-changing difference so that people with disabilities are not subject to abuse, neglect, and discrimination, and instead have supportive services to live full lives in our community.

The program celebrated the strength, resilience, and determination of our community and raised money for a Justice Bus, a fully accessible mobile Legal Aid office that can bring full services to people with disabilities throughout the state. We featured the incredible story of Tom Atkins and his attorney, Jennifer Giesen. Tom is a quadriplegic and desperately needed a new wheelchair. With Jennifer’s expertise and representation, Tom has a new wheelchair that makes a real difference in his life.
