The nonprofit Legal Aid Society of Cleveland exists to rebalance the power disparity between those who can afford a lawyer and those who can’t in civil cases, such as tenant-landlord disputes. It also offers legal clinics at community centers and libraries so people can seek advice.
Want to help provide access to justice for those without the means to purchase it? Legal Aid’s annual summer fundraiser, called Jam for Justice, takes place at the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. Both stages will host full lineups of bands of six bands on each stage, which include attorneys, judges, and law school students and professors among their musicians.
The stages will alternate time slots so you can catch them all. The first band plays at 5:20. Emcees include attorneys Stephanie Haney, DJ Brad Wolfe and Delanté Spencer Thomas. Go here for tickets.
