The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law was founded in the early 1980s by Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar and Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Since its inception, the Center has served as a cornerstone of family law and domestic violence assistance for low-income persons in the Los Angeles area. For over 21 years, Jennifer Saunders, a partner in Haight’s Los Angeles office, has worked with the Harriett Buhai Center providing this much needed assistance in the community. With the help of volunteers like Jennifer, the Center is able to provide free family law assistance, legal education to the poor and empower people in need while assuring them meaningful access to the courts.
