Board Member Elizabeth Finn Johnson always wanted to work for the ACLU. But after finding herself in a corporate job, AVLF reignited her passion for pro bono service. 

Scott has served on the Board of Directors for five different organizations in addition to her work on Alston & Bird’s Pro Bono Committee. 

Junior Board of Directors President Jimmy Rusert explains what led him to AVLF, and how he thinks the Junior Board can make the organization even better.

Ms. Cochran walked into the courthouse flanked by two attorneys, two damages experts, a mold expert, two witnesses from the apartment building, and an officer with the Atlanta Police Department’s Code Enforcement Section, Ms. Cochran walked into the courtroom with an army.

Quick snapshot: I attended Georgia Southern University beginning in 2007. I have been working with TrustPoint International for 2 years, specializing in litigation support for law firms and corporations. I joined AVLF’s Junior Board of Directors in early 2015.

How did you get involved with AVLF? It was through my involvement with TrustPoint that I learned about AVLF and its purpose. From the first moment I met Marty Ellin, I knew I had to be involved. His passion was infectious. Through the gracious time and recommendations of Jennifer Jackson, Liz Whipple and Michael Lucas, that involvement became a reality.
