On October 16, 2019, a Wilson Sonsini pro bono team led by Litigation Of Counsel and Pro Bono Counsel Luke Liss partnered with a team from firm client Lyft led by Lyft General Counsel Kristin Svercheck for a OneJustice Justice Bus Project to provide pro bono immigration and paperwork legal assistance to 20 clients at a daylong clinic in East Palo Alto, California. Founded in 1979, OneJustice serves as statewide legal support center and works with lawyers and law students to empower California's most vulnerable residents who need legal help in order to gain their most basic civil rights and to meet essential human needs.
Established in 2007, the Justice Bus Project “mobilizes and empowers volunteer attorneys and law students to provide legal help to isolated and rural communities over the course of one and two-day trips.” Since its inception, the program has transported more than 2,000 volunteers to isolated and underserved communities to provide much-needed legal assistance to over 5,000 low-income Californians.
Team Wilson Sonsini included: Chidera Anyanwu, Ruben Ceja, Delilah Crim, Stephen Horton, Drew Liming, Luke Liss, Dennise Martinez, Douglas Warren McManaway, Rodolfo Munoz, Jamie Otto, Subha Patibanda, Mary A. Procaccio-Flowers, Ana Miruna Predescu, and Melissa Rick.
