ROGERS WILLIAM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW  — Roger Williams University School of Law was recognized today by the White House at an event thanking law schools that had “responded to the U.S. Attorney General’s call to address the housing and eviction crisis, and help increase housing stability and access to justice in their communities.” Last August 30, United States Attorney General Merrick Garland called on law schools and law firms to help fight evictions, following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that removed protections created by the federal government in response to the pandemic. Ninety-nine law schools across the country responded. Garland personally thanked them at the online event. “You assisted your clients and your communities at a time when they needed it the most, when our country needed it the most,” he said. “As law students, as leaders of some of our nation’s law schools, and as lawyers, you are uniquely positioned to help fill the gaps in our legal system.”
