“The moments when people need us the most are the moments when we have to be found,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti last Wednesday afternoon to a crowd of lawyers, judges, law students, and others who had gathered in a large courtyard at the bright-colored Frank Gehry-designed Loyola Law School campus.

“Today we’re offering a [helping] hand to our fellow human beings and saying, ‘We will be there for you,'” Garcetti said to the crowd.

The mayor was at Loyola to celebrate the official opening of the school’s newest social justice law clinic, called the Collateral Consequences of Conviction Justice Project.
