Franklin Pierce Law Center will host its first annual "Fun Run for Justice" on Sat., Sept. 18, with a 9 a.m. start at the school, located on 2 White Street. Proceeds from the 5K road race will support the Phinney Fund. The fund is FPLC’s loan repayment assistance program (LRAP) that provides financial assistance to law school graduates specializing in public interest law.

"This race is so important to so many in New Hampshire," says Brigette Siff Holmes, director of the school’s Social Justice Institute and race director. "The state’s citizens are greatly served through the work of Pierce Law’s graduates who accept public interest positions. They work as prosecutors and public defenders, as attorneys for New Hampshire Legal Assistance, and in a variety of posts for local nonprofits, assisting those individuals who might not otherwise receive legal counsel."

The race course will take runners and walkers from the campus, around White Park, through Grappone Park via Auburn Street, and back to Pierce Law.

"Because our public interest law graduates join the ranks of many of the state’s nonprofits and work in all areas of the New Hampshire criminal justice system—public defenders, prosecutors, the court system, law enforcement—all of these organizations are being invited to participate as runners and sponsors to support the Phinney Fund," says Holmes.
