Thank You to Our 2021 Summer Gillis Long Interns

For over thirty years, the Gillis Long Poverty Law Center at Loyola University College of Law provides law students the opportunity to serve the greater good while supplementing their coursework with real world legal research and practice. Each summer, The Project welcomes interns who gain invaluable legal experience and skills while assisting us in our mission to provide free civil legal aid to under-served members of our community.

Working with our staff, clients, and volunteers, Jordan Giles and Devon Clancy bring enthusiasm, energy, and a commitment to meeting today’s challenging times. Their work on our Successions program along with supporting our Divorce Workshops and Self Help Resource Centers has been exceptional. Today is Jordan's last day! We wish her well and know she is a friend to The Pro Bono Project for life. Devon will be staying on with us through the fall semester.
