Justice, Actually
. . . is messy/elusive/lit/interesting/rewarding/a laugh-cry moment. It turns out that founding, sustaining, and leading nonprofits is more complicated and arguably, convoluted, than you might imagine. Remember how your mom didn’t know what to say about how something went down and would just utter: “Well, they meant well?” Take it from a former executive director who is a lawyer working with nonprofit clients that your mom was onto something. This blog will provide you with insights on nonprofit governance, employment practices, accessibility, and strategy, with a dose of humor, light cat theme, and knowing look of shared trauma. Through my practice Justice Studio, I attempt to offer clear, practical legal guidance tailored to nonprofits so that they can focus on their missions, not any embedded dysfunctions. Welcome to the blog. Remember that reading a blog does not mean you got legal advice (wow, that was cheap!) or we established a lawyer-client relationship, but I’m here for that when the need arises and if you’re in Washington State.
