Over the past 10 days, Temple Law students in the Community Lawyering Clinic at the Temple Legal Aid Office have represented four clients seeking disability benefits in federal hearings before administrative law judges.\u00a0 In two of the cases, students in previous semesters had represented the clients in Federal District Court on written summary judgment motions and had successfully gotten these clients another chance at obtaining benefits after\u00a0they had been wrongfully denied benefits by administrative law judges.\u00a0 In both of those cases\u00a0this time around,\u00a0current\u00a0students won benefits\u00a0for and with\u00a0the clients. \u00a0The clients will receive monthly checks as well as checks to compensate them for the time that the Social Security Administration had wrongly denied them and should have been paying them. \u00a0These clients can now\u00a0live successfully and independently in the community .<\/p>\n

Students continue doing this important work for clients while continuing their work to bring legal services to the community in the community. \u00a0In the last few weeks, students have traveled to work work\u00a0with clients at Temple Hospital\u2019s Cancer Center, Liberty Resources Center for Independent Living, and Action AIDS North Philadelphia office.\u00a0 Pictured below are Kyle DeMarco at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review and Kate Emert at Action AIDS.\u00a0 Thanks and good work by them and their co-student interns Chi-Ser Tran, Andrew Newstein, and Liz Dolce.<\/p>\n
