Changes to the WSBA Leadership Institute

Each WLI class works together to complete a Community Service Project. Community Service Projects are designed by the fellows with an aim toward improving the civil or criminal justice system, the public's perception of the legal system or lawyers, or the efficiency of the WSBA.
