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 programming includes:

  • The Sensitivity Training Series, a six-part seminar-style series of workshops that center upon topics like mediation and negotiation, trauma-sensitive interviewing, interpretation, and self-care regarding emotional labor

  • Speaker events with professors and pro bono attorneys who share their insights on legal advocacy and vocational impact

  • HULC Families, a program through which we group together volunteers who are serving with organizations focused on different legal advocacy areas so that they can learn from and with each other

  • Socials, including events internal to the HULC community and those external, joint with other law-centered organizations at Harvard and in other colleges
