The Women & Family Law Legal Aid Clinic at the Rackman Center has completed another year of activity. We invited our students to share the legal issues they have dealt with and their personal experiences of working in family law. Since sometimes one picture is worth a thousand words, we took their words and used AI tools to create descriptive images to illustrate their experiences.
Student Gal-Noa Asher writes: “Participating in the Rackman Center Clinic deepened my understanding of how law can serve as a tool for social change – from working on legal cases and preparing briefs, to observing proceedings in legal tribunals alongside the clinic’s attorneys, and visiting courts and shelters for female victims of violence. Each experience revealed another dimension of the struggle for justice.
Volunteering in the “Community Connections” project gave me direct exposure to people seeking help, and the mock trial in which I represented a woman suffering from economic abuse turned my legal knowledge into a practical tool. Working on legislation projects and bill proposals clarified for me that law can be a powerful tool for advancing social justice, and observing in the corridors of rabbinical courts and family courts exposed me to the complex realities of the people who turn to the legal system.
Today, I know that after finishing my studies I want to continue to be part of this change.”
We thank the Clinic Director Adv. Shir Wullman, Academic Supervisor Prof. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, and Professional Supervisor Adv. Yossi Mendelson, and we wish our students good luck in their future work.
