NONPROFIT & PHILANTHROPY LAW eJOURNAL"Community Education and Access to Justice in a Time of Scarcity: Notes from the West Grove Trolley Garage Case"
ANTHONY VICTOR ALFIERI, University of Miami School of Law This Essay is part of an ongoing series of case studies on the progress of law school-affiliated public service projects conducted in partnership with faith based, nonprofit groups for the purposes of educating and training law students in community lawyering. Housed in the Historic Black Church Program at the University of Miami School of Law’s Center for Ethics and Public Service, the projects seek to build a pedagogy of civic professionalism and community engagement within a hybrid classical and clinical model of legal education. Still inchoate, the curricular model draws on multiple university disciplines, diverse law school pedagogies, and varied legal-political reform practices to fashion innovative advocacy, organizing, and policy approaches to alleviating concentrated inner-city poverty. Briefly sketched, the Essay outlines this evolving model in terms of its core components (community education, community research, and historic preservation) and its street-level application (the West Grove Trolley Garage case), noting its broader relevance to faith-based community outreach and interfaith coalition building in a time of public and private resource scarcity. "A Contextual Study of the Non-Profit Duty of Obedience: The National Collegiate Athletic Association"
JOEY LONG, Mount Olive College
Non-profit organizations are created around specific mission statements. The mission statement dictates every decision and action of the non-profit organization. Leadership within non-profit organizations, unlike their for-profit counterparts, requires obedience to the stated non-profit mission. "L3Cs: Bringing Change or in Need of Change?"
JAMIE PATRICK HOPKINS, The American College The low-profit, limited liability company (“L3C�) is a hybrid social and business entity not entirely for-profit or entirely not-for-profit. Referred to as a “for-profit with the nonprofit soul,� an L3C is a “specifically branded LLC� governed by a state’s Limited Liability Company (“LLC�) laws. The L3C model is enabled by a definitional addition to LLC statutes, imposing additional state-law obligations. The L3C model is an attempt to enable socially responsible businesses to access funding previously unavailable to charities. As the L3C model is more regularly adopted, it is important to understand the benefits and drawbacks associated with operating as one. | ||||||||
