UCI ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NEWS
UCI’s Initiative to End Family Violence extends from O.C. to nation’s capital
Jane Stoever joined UCI in 2013 with a singular purpose: to expand the university’s commitment and ability to fight family and domestic violence, perhaps society’s most pernicious health, legal, economic and intergenerational problem. That effort has now led to the milestone UCI Initiative to End Family Violence. The project has its origins in the university’s Domestic Violence Clinic, which offered law students the opportunity to engage in legal representation and advocacy, and now includes advocacy work in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. Stoever recently discussed the clinic’s important work in an interview with UCI News.
