Judith Schwartz-Behar is an Adjunct Professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, CA. For the past two years she has taught a course called Street Law Teaching Practicum: Legal Life Skills for Domestic Violence Survivors . Schwartz-Behar was inspired to create the class during her time working for the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law. After having clients regularly approach her regarding their difficulty navigating the legal system while leaving abusive relationships, she realized a justice gap existed. To help solve this issue, first- and second-year law students received training by attending Schwartz- Behar’s classroom lectures as well as live restraining order court hearings in downtown L.A. The law students then taught residents at domestic abuse shelters lessons on practical legal topics including landlord-tenant law, employment law, financial literacy, and family law. 11 Los Angeles, CA Legal Life Skills in Action Legal Life Skills in Action
