Law Cafe Employee Layoff Emergency Relief Fund

The Law Cafe was forced to shut down due to the closure of the UC Hastings campus resulting from COVID-19. 

Because of this, we were forced to layoff our entire staff (all hourly employees) who depend on this income for their livelihood. They have families near and far that also rely on their earnings. Once we shut down, we essentially generate no income to provide for our employees.

These employees are also currently struggling to find other temporary jobs due to the nature of this virus. 

We are asking the community to lend any kind of help to keep them afloat until we are able to start operating (which could be in August 2020). Please note 100% of the money will be distributed amongst the employees and not management.

Our deepest appreciation to anyone who is able to lend a hand. 

Please help share this posting @thelawcafe.

Apri 2, 2020 Update: 

Hi everyone, 

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your concern. We are extremely humbled by the tremendous amount of support we've received thus far from staff, faculty, alumni, and current students alike. 

Our dedicated staff are the lifeline of our business. All of our staff will be compensated accordingly, likely by the end of next week. I also want to emphasize that 100% of the GoFundMe proceeds will be distributed amongst our staff. 

Thank you again, everyone.
