Big occasions deserve big speakers, and the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland landed one of the biggest stars in the political universe for its 100th Anniversary gala celebration. Hillary Rodham Clinton will deliver keynote remarks April 30 at the Cleveland Convention Center, where some 1,000 legal aid supporters from across Northeast Ohio will gather to mark the program’s centennial. Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, the fifth-oldest organization of its kind in the nation, specializes in helping low-income Ohioans with housing, employment, family law, immigration, consumer issues, special education, and community development matters.

Senator Clinton has deep roots in legal aid, dating back to law school in New Haven, Conn., and to her first job as a law professor and clinical director at University of Arkansas School of Law.
