The Austin Community Law Center's "Serving Justice" is a campaign to protect workers' rights in the restaurant industry – with special emphasis on discrimination, wage theft, and personal safety.

At our legal clinic, attorneys will be paired with law students and paralegals to:

• Consult with individual workers about their workplace grievances;
• Inform them how their legal rights are implicated; and,
• When appropriate, draft/submit complaints to applicable government agencies such as the EEOC, Department of Labor, or OSHA; or refer workers to attorneys participating in our pro bono network to review as potential clients for full scope representation.

Pre-training: Saturday, May 6 from 1:00 - 2:00 (on Zoom, recording available afterwards)
