A Message from ALF President Leslie R. Barineau
Greetings,
Last week I watched the ESPY Awards Ceremony, which is entertaining as well as emotional. It is fun to see what individuals and teams will be recognized for individual and team athletic achievements. I was glad to see two of my favorites win this year, Shohei Ohtani as the winner of the Best MLB Player Award and Nick Saban as the recipient of the Icon Award.
In listening to the powerful and thought-provoking speeches of Nick Saban, Dawn Staley, the recipient of the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance; and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service, their message was clear. When people unite for a common purpose – compassion for others – great achievements can be made in our communities and throughout the world.
Brannon Buck, Past President of the Alabama State Bar, knows and understands this message loud and clear. During his year as President, he compiled a team of people to create a new online platform called Justice4AL.com. This initiative aims “to connect those in need of legal assistance with free, accessible, and comprehensive legal resources.” It is a “one-stop destination for individuals seeking guidance and support through the legal system.”
Brannon, what an outstanding job you and your team have done. Thank you for your efforts to make our legal system a more fair and just one for all Alabamians.
“Instead of asking someone you meet, how are you doing? Ask instead, who did you help today?” Nick Saban
As ALF begins our physical year, I want us to continue to emphasize “compassion for others” through our various grants, scholarships, and programs. We can strive to do more! Our theme will be: “Who did ALF help today?”
I hope you enjoy the rest of this hot summer with family and friends.
Warmest Regards,
Leslie R. Barineau
President, Alabama Law Foundation
Spotlight
Justice4AL.com is an online gateway to Legal Aid resources
The Alabama State Bar has launched Justice4AL.com, a vital resource designed to help Alabamians who need legal assistance but cannot afford it. This new website is an accessible gateway to legal aid resources, providing much-needed support to those facing legal challenges. The Alabama Law Foundation, in partnership with the Alabama Access to Justice Commission, is helping to fund parts of the initiative.
Justice4AL.com is designed with user-friendly navigation to make finding help as straightforward as possible. Users answer a few simple questions, and the site directs them to the appropriate services in their area. This ease of access is critical for people dealing with issues like landlord disputes, child custody matters, or obtaining a will, especially when they may not know where to turn for help.
