Hāʻawi, ulu, a pili - ʻo ia nā kumu i wehewehe i ka pro bono hana a ka loio Jones Day Rachel Ippolito.
He kamaʻāina ʻo Clevelander, ua hele ʻo Rachel i ke kula ʻo Case Western Reserve School of Law kahi i loaʻa ai kāna ʻike mua me Legal Aid ma ke ʻano he haumāna haumāna loio. E like me nā haumāna kānāwai ʻē aʻe, ua kōkua ʻo ia i ka ʻai ʻana ma ke kaiāulu o Legal Aid Nā Keʻena Aʻo Pōkole.
Ua hoʻāla kēia ʻike i ka makemake no pro bono e mohala ana i ka wa i hoomaka ai o Rahela i kana hana ma Lā Jones, he oihana loio me ka ikaika pro bono moʻomeheu a me ka moʻolelo hohonu me ke Kokua Kānāwai. Ma ke ʻano he hoa hou ma ka ʻoihana, hiki iā ia ke aʻo aku i nā mea kūʻai aku ma ke kaiāulu Brief Advice Clinics.
Ua hoʻonui wale ʻia ko Rachel komo ʻana i ka Volunteer Lawyer Program i ka wā i hoʻomaikaʻi ai ʻo Rachel i kāna mau akamai ʻoihana i ka wā e hāʻawi ana. Ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ke komo ʻana o Jones Day i ka Right to Counsel (RTC) Initiative, ʻo ia ka lawe ʻana i nā hihia RTC iā ia iho a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā hihia RTC i nā loio Jones Day. Ma o kāna hana ma Legal Aid, ua lilo ʻo Rachel i loio ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi—e hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻohana i nā mākau hou i kāna hana ma Jones Day—a hoʻomāhuahua i kona pilina me ke kaiāulu kūloko o Cleveland.
ʻO ko Rachel pili ʻana i ke Kokua Kānāwai a me nā loio a me nā haumāna kānāwai i manaʻo i ke kāhea ʻana e lawelawe i ko lākou kaiāulu ua ʻae iā ia e hoʻonui i nā hana hou e like me ka Right to Counsel initiative, e hāʻawi ana i ka hōʻike kānāwai i nā mea kūʻai aku e kū nei i ka nāwaliwali o ka hale.

A he hopena koʻikoʻi kāu mau haʻawina i ka poʻe o ko mākou kaiāulu. Hiki iā mākou ke hana e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ke ola o ko mākou mau hoalauna."
