Nearly one year ago, Erin Hall took the helm as the Clinic’s executive director, helping to expand our mission of justice for the most vulnerable in our communities. Today we interview Erin to learn about her past experience, what promoting justice and mercy means to her personally, and her vision for the future. 

While applying for the job, a memory of my own childhood re-surfaced. During the recession, around 2007-8, one early morning, I was getting ready for grade school. I was shivering, and brushing my teeth with cold water. For a few months, we did not have heat or hot water. I would boil pots on the stove to take baths in the mornings, and double up on socks at night. This was life.
