The story of the Center For Justice
The Center For Justice celebrated its 10th Anniversary on Inauguration Night. It was quite the party. Now, Karen Dorne-Steele has written an extensive feature on the non-profit law firm’s roots, work, and future interests. We honor them for all of their wonderful work on The Spokane River, land use, and numerous social causes in our community.
Steele: “The Center for Justice was born from an “out of the blue” phone call to lawyer Jim Sheehan. The public defender accustomed to raiding his own closet to outfit his low-income clients had suddenly become a multimillionaire thanks to a 1997 bequest from his aunt Verle Pozzo, the widow of United Parcel Service’s co-founder.” (DTE named Sheehan one of our 7 Cultural Wonders.)Read the incredible story here. It’s another reminder how fortunate we are to have the group in Spokane.
