Camille D. HolmesDirector, Leadership and Racial Equity, National Legal Aid & Defender AssociationDear Friends,

I am so pleased to welcome you this evening as we honor two extraordinary individuals, Kevin McCarthy and Camille Holmes, and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice (NCLEJ) celebrates its 50th anniversary of fighting for fairness for people in need.

Having just completed my first 50 days as Executive Director of NCLEJ, I am thankful for you, our supporters, without whom our work would not be possible.

At this time in our nation’s history, when the disparities in wealth and opportunity are growing exponentially, NCLEJ’s mission is more essential than ever. For a half century, low-income and disadvantaged Americans and their allies have worked hand-in-hand with NCLEJ in pursuit of social and economic justice – and the victories have been many.

As a life-long advocate for civil rights and social justice, I am delighted to be leading NCLEJ with its extraordinary staff, board, clients and supporters.

Here’s to the next 50 years!

Best wishes,

Margarita Rosa, Esq.

JEFFREY TOOBIN

Author and Legal Analyst, CNN and The New Yorker

Jeffrey Toobin is a senior legal analyst for CNN Worldwide. Based in the network’s New York bureau, Toobin joined CNN in April 2002. He has covered all the major legal stories of the era, ranging from the nomination of four Supreme Court Justices to the trials of Michael Jackson and George Zimmerman.

Toobin joined CNN from ABC News, where, during his six-year tenure as a legal analyst, he provided legal analysis on the nation’s most provocative and high profile cases, including the O.J. Simpson civil trial and the

Kenneth Starr investigation of the Clinton White House. Toobin received a 2001 Emmy Award for his coverage of the Elian Gonzales custody saga.

Toobin is also a staff writer at The New Yorker and has been covering legal affairs for the magazine since 1993. He has interviewed President Obama about his judicial selections and written articles on such subjects Attorneys General Eric Holder and John Ashcroft, the 2000 dispute over Florida’s votes for president, the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the trial of Timothy McVeigh.

His most recent book, The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court, was a New York Times best-seller, as was his previous book, The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, which received the 2008 J. Anthony Lukas Prize for Nonfiction from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. He is also the author of the previous best-sellers, Too Close to Call: the Thirty-Six Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election; A Vast Conspiracy: the Real Story of the Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President; and The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Previously, Toobin served as an assistant U.S. attorney in Brooklyn. He also served as an associate counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh, an experience that provided the basis for his first book, Opening Arguments: A Young Lawyer’s First Case—United States v. Oliver North.

Toobin earned his bachelor’s degree from Harvard College and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

CAMILLE D. HOLMES

Director, Leadership and Racial Equity National Legal Aid & Defender Association

Camille Holmes is the Director of Leadership and Racial Equity at the National Legal Aid & Defender Association. Camille came to NLADA from the Center for Law and Social Policy, where she was instrumental in the founding of the Mississippi Center for Justice, a nonprofit public interest law firm explicitly committed to advancing racial and economic justice.

Over the past fifteen years, Camille has worked with her colleagues at NLADA, CLASP, and other partner organizations, particularly the Legal

Services of Northern California, as well as the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society and, more recently, the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law on equipping the legal aid community to increase its effectiveness at the intersection of race and poverty. Her work has connected leaders across legal aid, civil rights, and racial justice organizations; shared research-based strategies to promote inclusion and equity; advanced broad-based and systemic advocacy approaches; and encouraged leadership that values self-awareness, wellness, and community wisdom.

In 2009, Camille received a Race Consciousness in the Law Award from the Equal Justice Society for her work promoting racial equity in the legal aid community. In May 2015 she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Johnson State College in Vermont and delivered the commencement address. Camille serves on the board of directors of the Poverty and Race Research Action Council.

Camille has also been executive director of the Southern Africa Legal Services and Legal Education Project, an attorney at the D.C. law firm of Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering (now WilmerHale), and a law clerk for the Honorable Damon J. Keith on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. She is a cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges.

MissionAdvancing the cause of economic justice for low-income families, individuals, and communities across the country.

ValuesBecause NCLEJ’s Board and staff believe that this nation should strive to ensure that no one lives in poverty or is denied basic human rights, we subscribe to the following values:

Income Security: Income security is a basic goal and fundamental defense against poverty.

Access to Employment: Low-income people should have full opportunity to participate in all forms of education, training, and services to help them secure and retain living wage jobs.

Access to Health Care: All low-income people should receive affordable,

comprehensive high-quality health care.

Fair Treatment: Fairness must be the foundation of government administration.

Public Accountability: Governmental decision-making and administration should

be open, accessible, and responsive to constituents. Access to Justice: Low-income people must have effective access to the

justice system to challenge violations of their rights, secure effective relief, and gain greater public accountability.

Fair and Safe Workplace: All workers should be assured a safe

workplace, a living wage, and full protection from discrimination.

Community Action: Community action and coalition

building should be encouraged at the local, state, and national level as powerful strategies for social change.

Civic Participation: Low-income individuals and

their communities should have a voice in shaping the public policies that affect their lives.

Goodbye document exhibits.Hello paperless depositions.

AgileLaw replaces paper deposition exhibitswith laptops and tablets.

Reduce Preparation Time

Quickly organize all documents foreach deposition by putting them in aspecific order, assigning labels andtags, and making private annotations.No more shuffling through stacks ofpaper or losing important notes.

Eliminate Unnecessary Expenses

Save on printing, copying, andshipping expenses before thedeposition. After the deposition,save on court reporter fees relatedto providing scanned versions ofthe document exhibits.

Access Every Document

All case documents are at yourfingertips during the deposition.Never worry about forgetting adocument at the office and stopwasting precious deposition timelooking for the right exhibit.

AGILELAWPractice litigation, not litigation support
