Brian Farrell, who serves as an associate professor, associate director of the Center for Human Rights, and director of the Citizen Lawyer Program, and Daria Fisher Page, clinical professor and director of the Community Empowerment Law Project, were recently mentioned in two articles from the latest issue of The Practice, a magazine from Harvard’s Center on the Legal Profession.

The first article, “Tracing the Threads of Rural Legal Scholarship,” cites Farrell and Fisher Page’s argument that legal deserts and access to justice are often mistakenly conflated, though they are two distinct challenges. The second article, “Confronting Antirural Bias,” also highlights their pioneering research in the field of rural access to justice.
