Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee (HULC)
The Harvard Undergraduate Legal Committee (HULC) trains students in emotional sensitivity to approach legal aid as a form of care and pairs volunteers to serve with legal advocacy organizations in Boston that focus on a wide range of legal advocacy areas, including immigration, employment, housing, and family law. HULC aims to use the law as a tool of social justice and empowerment for those who need it the most and gets students excited about the intersection of legal aid and public service through consistent programming. Our partners include De Novo, Fair Employment Project, Mental Health Legal Advisors Committee, Northeast Legal Aid, Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association.
