Project Spotlight

Project SURVIVE: The Legal Aid Society of San Francisco-Employment Law Center's innovative new statewide program, Surviving Violence and Increasing Viable Employment (SURVIVE), ensures that survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking do not have to choose between a paycheck and their safety.

Keynote Address by Jeffrey Toobin
Introduced by Jeff Bleich, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP

Jeffrey Toobin is one of the country's most esteemed experts on politics, media and the law. He is a CNN legal analyst, staff writer for The New Yorker, and the best-selling author. His forthcoming book, The Nine, relays the behind-the-scenes drama at the nation's highest court.

The Mathew O. Tobriner Public Service Award, given annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to achieving justice, is presented this year to three women (see below), whose work has broken new ground-nationally and internationally-in the struggle to advance the rights of domestic violence survivors.

Guo Jianmei: Nobel Peace Prize nominee and founder of The Center for Women's Law Studies and Legal Services of Peking University, for advancing women's legal rights through China's first legal aid clinic.

Presented by Hilary K. Krane, Senior VP and General Counsel, Levi Strauss & Co.

Robin Runge: Director, American Bar Association, Commission on Domestic Violence, for helping to inaugurate Project SURVIVE and advocating nationally on domestic violence and legal issues.

Presented by Toni Rembe, van Löben Sels / RembeRock Foundation

Esta Soler: Founder and president of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, for her pioneering work on behalf of women and children in the U.S. and worldwide.

Presented by Crystal Hayling, President & CEO, Blue Shield of California Foundation

With a performance by members of Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble
