Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Legal Services - Clinical legal education. The Organization's mission is to provide free or low-cost, high-quality legal assistance and representation to low-income Washington, D.C. residents who are unable to afford a lawyer and to train law students in lawyering and courtroom advocacy skills and instill in them a commitment to pro bono service.

The mission of Rising for Justice is to leverage the collective forces of law students and social work students who work along with our experienced attorneys to achieve justice for our clients. We directly represent individuals who cannot afford counsel before the District of Columbia courts and various administrative agencies. We train law students from area law schools in trial advocacy and other lawyering skills and seek to instill in them a commitment to pro bono service. We also serve as a field placement for graduate students from MSW programs who work on teams with our law students and attorneys to serve the social services needs of our clients through an interdisciplinary approach to client representation.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“After the Chief Executive Officer, Board Treasurer or Board Finance Committee Co-Chair, and finance/accounting consultant review and approve the Form 990, the complete document is circulated to the full Board and submitted to the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The Organization has a conflict of interest policy that applies to both staff and board members. The staff and the board are required to sign this policy on a periodic basis. The Policy committee is responsible for reviewing any conflicts of interest and determining whether an actual conflict exists. If a staff member or board member is determined to have a conflict of interest, the person is recused from the discussion and decisions are made in the best interests of the Organization.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

“Compensation comparability data was compiled and distributed to the search committee to help determine the appropriate salary for the Executive Director in 2018. This information was shared with and discussed extensively by the full board to determine the Executive Director salary range so that an individual could be hired at a competitive salary.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C:

“The process has not changed from prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“The Cy Pres fund (Friedman Fund) will be used primarily for the purpose of improving the clinical experience to students through service to low income Washington, DC residents. Some of the Cy Pres fund may be used for immediate, pressing needs, but the over-arching goal is to maintain the Cy Pres fund with as little diminution of principal as possible. The Cy Pres fund represents a gift that is unique to the experience of Rising for Justice and provides Rising for Justice with the opportunity for greater financial stability than it has had in the past.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The Organization is exempt from income taxes, other than net unrelated business income, under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended June 30, 2021, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of June 30, 2021, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2018 through 2021, remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the Organization files tax returns. It is the Organization's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.”

IRS990/Desc0Our Tenant Justice Program (formerly referred to as Eviction Defense Services), which is staffed by experienced lawyers, paraprofessionals, as well as law and social work students, is an innovative advocacy program that provides legal and social services. The Tenant Justice Program provides advice, referral, and limited and full representation of tenants in eviction defense, rent control and subsidized housing-related matters before the District of Columbia courts and various administrative tribunals. Through our Civil Protection Order Program, we represent respondents in civil protection order matters. These services range from legal advice and referral services to full representation. Both our Tenant Justice Program and Civil Protection Order Program maintain court-based offices. In our Expungement Program, we represent D.C. residents who wish to clear criminal arrest and conviction records. We screen, refer, provide direct representation as well as place cases with pro bono counsel, who are trained and mentored by our staff. Our programs serve indigent and low-income District residents. Our staff regularly conduct training for attorneys as well as public education initiatives designed to inform District residents about their legal rights.

IRS990/MissionDesc0The mission of Rising for Justice is to leverage the collective forces of law students and social work students who work along with our experienced attorneys to achieve justice for our clients. We directly represent individuals who cannot afford counsel before the District of Columbia courts and various administrative agencies. We train law students from area law schools in trial advocacy and other lawyering skills and seek to instill in them a commitment to pro bono service. We also serve as a field placement for graduate students from MSW programs who work on teams with our law students and attorneys to serve the social services needs of our clients through an interdisciplinary approach to client representation.
