Center for Justice founder Jim Sheehan talks to the Inlander about the future of Spokane’s potent non-profit law firm.

Spokane’s top weekly newspaper, the Pacific Northwest Inlander, has a story in its December 16th issue focusing on the future of the Center for Justice. In a lengthy interview with staff writer Daniel Walters, CFJ founder Jim Sheehan talks about what he calls “Center for Justice 3.0.”

After talking about the recent departure of former CFJ executive director Breean Beggs, Sheehan discusses the expanded new roles for litigation director Jeffry Finer and the Center’s new development director,
Shawna Sampson. He also talks about the Center’s recent budget reductions and how he hopes to re-introduce the Center’s work to the community in ways that will foster more public support.
As for what we’re (still) about at the core, Sheehan put it this way:
“It’s really simple: We are here to do what we can do to facilitate access for people who don’t have it. You can say this until you’re blue in the face, but a lot of people don’t understand it. If you don’t have resources, you really don’t have access to our legal system.”
