Middle District of Alabama to Co-Host Virtual 2025 POWER Act Event
June 9, 2025
The United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama is joining more than thirty U.S. District Courts in hosting the 2025 Virtual POWER Act Event on Tuesday, June 24, 2024 at 12:00 PM CST.
The Pro Bono Work to Empower and Represent (POWER) Act promotes efforts across the country to empower survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through pro bono legal services. The POWER Act (P. L. 115-237) was passed by Congress on September 4, 2018. The primary goal of the POWER Act is for the U.S. District Courts to partner with a local, tribal, or territorial domestic abuse service provider and a local volunteer lawyer project to promote pro bono legal services as a way to empower survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and to engage citizens in assisting those survivors.
This year’s POWER Act Event will feature:
• Hon. Virginia Mary Kendall, Chief United States District Judge, Northern District of Illinois; and
• Stacy Schecter, Esq., Legal Director of the Safe Horizon Domestic Violence Law Project
