NC LEAF-Your Donations Make a Difference
March 9, 2026 | Legal Specializations
Public interest lawyers are some of the lowest paid in the state, and the application fees for specialization are often difficult to pay. To address this financial hurdle, we created the Jeri Whitfield Scholarship through NC LEAF to pay the application fees for public interest lawyers who pursue initial certification. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to NC LEAF. Any amount helps! Your donation will help a public interest lawyer pursue certification thereby generating confidence in legal services and the justice system for everyone in our state. To donate, please visit their website.
