The Shirley E Greenberg gift provides support for initiatives that respond to the needs of women in law and women effected by law as faculty, staff and students, clients, survivors, agitators and creators. The gift is used to support projects that allow lawyers and students to gain an understanding of the impact that law has on women: how to provide the best legal services, understand their clients lives and understand the impact that law can have on those lives. We hope that this results in better lawyering and in better social policy.
