On Sept. 18, The Jacksonville Area Legal Aid hosted it’s 20th Annual Robert J. Beckham Equal Justice Awards Celebration. The event celebrates philanthropy and volunteerism within the legal community. All proceeds from this event support the provision of free legal aid to the community’s most vulnerable populations and allow Jacksonville Area Legal Aid to react quickly to the changing needs of those seeking assistance.
