Children enjoy LAD party

The Civil Law Group of Legal Aid and Defender Association, Inc. (LAD) hosted its annual holiday party for needy families at LAD's headquarters, providing them with food baskets and toys for their children. A committee of the group's community affairs and outreach coordinators plans and conducts the party. Jo Ann Fowler and Annie Jones co-chaired this year's committee. Other members were Mary Blaney, Rachel Perdue, Jameel Williams and Ginger Willis. LAD's staff refers prospective recipients to the committee, which selected four families to help this year. The committee raised funds for the party through casual days and "jeans Thursdays," receiving $5 contributions from staff members who wear jeans on those days. Headed by Chief Counsel Joan Glanton Howard, the civil law group is Michigan's largest provider of free civil legal services to low-income residents, serving metropolitan Detroit through LAD's offices in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. LAD also represents criminal defendants in Wayne County and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Including brief consultations and comprehensive legal services, the public law firm handles some 15,000 legal matters yearly. Published: Fri, Jan 8, 2010
