Levinson and Stefani participated in the annual Race Judicata 5K in September. The event is presented by Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, which provides pro bono civil legal aid in Chicago. With approximately 2,300 volunteer attorneys, CVLS provides free legal services such as Guardian Ad Litem representation for children and the disabled, fighting against foreclosures and predatory lenders, protecting from evictions, and establishing community legal clinics throughout the city.
This is the first year Levinson and Stefani participated, with a team of six that saw some run (see immediately above) the 3.1-mile lakefront course while the other walked. “I was glad we had such great participation. We are definitely looking forward to next year’s event — training starts today!” said managing partner, Jay Stefani. The event included pre- and post-race activities, live music, and food and beverages.
