Brian Glick is a lawyer, teacher, writer and activist who founded the Law School’s Community Economic Development Clinic in 2000 and has directed it since then. The CED Clinic represents groups fighting for social justice in low-income communities and low-wage workforces. As their general counsel it helps sustain effective organizations and build institutions – health clinics, childcare centers, land trusts, worker co-ops – that empower their participants while providing desperately needed services and opportunities. The CED clinic supports neighborhood efforts to shape development, limit gentrification and win community benefits agreements. Glick has also worked as a legal services lawyer representing community groups in low-income, predominantly African American and Latino disinvested neighborhoods of Brooklyn, NY. bglick@fordham.edu
