Description
Touro Law Center, along with Herstory Writers Network,
developed a semester-long pro bono project for law students to become part of a
unique and powerful movement that uses a story-based strategy for change. As
part of the program, law students write side-by-side with family court-involved
young people from NY State Court of Claims Judge/Acting Supreme Court Justice
Fernando Camacho’s Concepts Court, an expansion of the youth
incarceration-diversion program on Long Island. The law students collaborate with
the young people, mentoring and inspiring them to share their stories.
Herstory Writers Network, based at the Public Advocacy
Center, offers community writing workshops focusing on memoir and storytelling
to empower individuals and address social issues.
