Molly Crane is the 2023 recipient of the Andrew L. Kaufman Pro Bono Service Award given “[to] a member of the J.D. class who has displayed an outstanding commitment to improving and delivering high quality volunteer legal services to disadvantaged communities.”
Y-Lab was pleased to work with Molly directly both as an inaugural Youth Advocacy and Policy Fellow and as a student in the Child Advocacy Clinic during her externship with the Public Defender Service (PDS) for the District of Columbia.
In the article, “Molly Crane honored with the Andrew L. Kaufman Pro Bono Service Award,” in Harvard Law Today (Olivia Klein, May 22, 2023), supervisors and peers alike describe how Molly’s generosity of spirit and ability to put the humanity of her clients above all else inspired them during her time at HLS.
