The LIC program, which is administered through the Chicago Bar Association, has been providing civic and justice education to Chicago elementary and middle school students for more than 30 years. It currently reaches nearly 5,000 students in Chicagoland schools each year. Attorneys from Greenberg Traurig Chicago regularly volunteer with LIC to provide interactive learning opportunities that allow students to enhance critical thinking, collaboration, and civil discourse skills.
"Through our 14-year partnership with the LIC program, we have been able to provide grade-specific civic education to Chicago-area students with the goal of helping students define the trajectory of their futures," Jeruchimowitz said. "It gives students the opportunity to learn from us and our real-life experiences, but it is also a fun and rewarding experience for us."
Several Greenberg Traurig attorneys participate in the LIC program each year. This year, volunteers included Jeruchimowitz and Feldman as well as Associate Tess Bolger.
