The Mizzou Law Child and Family Justice Clinic welcomes Erika LeFauve, ’25, as a new staff attorney. LeFauve just graduated from Mizzou Law in May and has begun work with the clinic in a limited capacity while she studies for the Missouri Bar Exam. Once she passes the exam, she will begin full-time work as an attorney for the clinic in it’s new Roots of Resilience program.
The Roots of Resilience: Rural Families Initiative is the new program the clinic is starting in August, which will expand the CFJC’s service area to include Audrain, Cole, and Moniteau counties. Essentially, Roots of Resilience is the rural-specific program developed and implemented thanks to an agreement with ParentLink and a grant awarded by the American College of Trial Lawyers Foundation. RoR address rural issues to equitable access to justice, including travel limitations, lack of anonymity in rural communities, and the severe attorney shortage in rural areas.
