On March 26 Georgetown University Law Center hosted Home Court 2014, an annual charity basketball game to support the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, and raised over $600,000 to support the clinic.
The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless provides comprehensive legal services to homeless individuals in the District of Columbia and advocates on their behalf. The clinic’s goal is to bring an end to homelessness by improving the programs, benefits, resources and opportunities available to people challenged by the effects of poverty.
Home Court 2014 was the 27th annual matchup between Hoya Lawyas, a team of Law Center faculty and staff, and Hill’s Angels, a team of U.S. senators and representatives and their staffs.
The first Home Court game, in 1988, raised over $40,000 for the legal clinic and the game has raised more than $5 million since then. Home Court 2014 was played at the Trinity Center at Trinity Washington University. Hill’s Angels beat Hoya Lawyas 46-40.
