UC Hastings Legal Clinic Featured in The Recorder
The UC Hastings Community Economic Development (CED) Clinic is featured in the January 14, 2011 edition of The Recorder. In an article headlined "Hospital Project Gives Hastings Students Hands-On Experience," reporter Petra Pasternak focuses on the significance of the work Hastings CED Clinic students are involved with on behalf of the Good Neighbor Coalition in one of San Francisco's biggest ongoing land use development proposals, the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) project.
"The students are exposed to the many different players involved," writes Pasternak, "meeting with city officials behind closed doors and attending public hearings. Plus they see how a community coalition comes together."
Hastings 2L students Temnee Wright and Matt Bruno were cited in the article, as well as Prof. Mark Aaronson, who runs the CED Clinic.
"What's different about this project is the stakes," said Aaronson. "It's one of the two or three most major land use matters that's going to go through the S.F. planning process this year."
