School of Law

Navigating the legal system can be a nearly insurmountable task for people who are unable to hire a lawyer. Gonzaga Law alumnus Eli Marchbanks (’14) volunteers with the Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program (CCVLP) to support clients in these situations. Marchbanks and his fellow volunteers guide clients through the court process and provide legal advice free of charge.⁣ ⁣ “People generally understand the gist of their legal defense,” Marchbanks told @thecolumbian. “What’s impossible for them, and understandably, are the court procedures. I think that’s the chief problem.”⁣ ⁣ Click the link in our bio to learn more about Marchbanks’ efforts with the CCVLP.⁣ ⁣ #alumnihighlight #volunteerlawyers #zaglaw #clarkcounty

Congratulations to rising 2L Hisrael Carranza, recipient of the 2019 Diversity Scholarship by the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Washington State Chapter (WACC). Carranza is committed to promoting diversity within our #ZagLaw community and volunteers with the Moderate Means Program to provide translation services to people with limited resources.⁣ ⁣ “I am honored and humbled to receive this scholarship because I know there are a lot of deserving students out there,” Carranza said. “I met great attorneys at the WACC Technology Summit and was exposed to a lot of interesting topics. While I plan on pursuing work in immigration and criminal defense, I appreciate all the hard work that the WACC members are doing.”⁣ ⁣ #diversityscholarship #ACCWashington #scholarship #moderatemeans
