Brooklyn A’s Jessica Rose Receives NYCLA Public Service Award

Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation A Community and Economic Development Director Jessica Rose (pictured 6th from left) was among those honored on Sept. 12 at the New York County Lawyers' Association's Annual Public Service Awards. Brooklyn A is one of the few legal services programs in the country to
develop a sustained, substantial practice representing community-based
organizations in low- income neighborhoods, including
groups that organize tenants, build affordable housing, expand access to
health care, and establish community-run senior centers, schools and
daycare facilities.

Based in East Brooklyn, Brooklyn A's Community and Economic
Development/Group Representation Unit works both as in-house and special
project counsel to
community-based organizations. Brooklyn A attorneys offer nonprofit
clients ongoing, long-term representation that encompasses the full
range of services that private sector corporations routinely receive
from their corporate counsel.
