The University of Memphis School of Law’s Public Action Law Society (PALS) recently hosted the 13th Annual Alternative Spring Break Program. This year, 63 law students participated, working across six specially-designed “tracks” of legal focus: eviction, expungement, fair housing, immigration, name change, and wills and estates. Others participated in the Street Law program, presenting legal topics to high school students, while others observed the work of the Shelby County Mental Health Court and Shelby County Veterans Court. Taken together, the students contributed nearly 2,150 training and project hours and helped hundreds of individuals. Read reports from each track and see photos from the week.
