One hundred years ago, a small group of Harvard Law students formed an organization to provide legal aid to the poor. In the 10 decades since its founding, the Legal Aid Bureau—the oldest student-run legal services program in the country—has helped thousands of clients. Many of its former members—from the late Supreme Court Justice William Brennan ’31 to the current Governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick ’82 and the First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama ’88—have gone on to make important contributions to public service.
