Students Help Children at Colorado Legal Services

In November, the Juvenile and Family Law Club held a drive to provide toys for the Colorado Legal Services playroom. The Club was able to raise approximately $3,000 worth of toys.

Professor Laura Spitz and club member 1L Janna Fischer delivered the donations to Colorado Legal Services Denver office and helped to clean up the playroom.

“Colorado Legal Services has a lot of clients with kids, and it’s easier for them to meet with their clients when the kids have somewhere they actually want to be,” said Fischer. “It’s easy enough for me to give them a couple of hours to set things up, and it made a difference for an organization that helps families in crisis situations.”

The Colorado Legal Services playroom provides a place for children to wait while their parents receive legal services.

These donations ensure that the Colorado Legal Services’ clients get better services while their children play. Some of the toys also went to indigent children as Christmas presents.
