Civil Law

Community Legal Services will hold its inaugural 5K Run/Walk fundraiser, the Justice For All 5K, on October 10, 2010.

The Justice For All 5K is an opportunity for CLS staff, alumni, local attorneys, law students, and community members to celebrate the impact of CLS' work. All proceeds from the event will support CLS' mission of providing equal access to justice to low income Philadelphians.

In addition to individual, legal/corporate, and club team competitions, the Justice For All 5K will feature a Law School Challenge in which teams from area law schools will compete against one another.

Our 5K is a one-loop, USATF-certified course (#PA10012WB). Click here to see the course map.
