The law school is partnering with Swedish Medical Center to assist their elderly patients with their public benefits applications. In collaboration with their social work and medical staff, a small team of legal interns will work under the supervision of a lawyer to provide assistance with public benefits applications. This assistance will help elderly patients be more successful in securing benefits and prevent the need for legal services. This is a collaborative project of the Public Interest Law Foundation, Access to Justice Institute, Law Clinic and Swedish Medical Center.
