The Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs would like to extend a warm welcome to Shelley Barron, who recently joined the Tenant Advocacy Project (TAP) as a Clinical Instructor.
After earning her JD from Northeastern University School of Law in 2012, Shelley began working at Community Legal Aid, Inc. in Worcester, MA as a Staff Attorney. While there, Shelley was a part of the Honorable Harry Zarrow Homeless Advocacy Outreach Project, which aims to prevent or reduce homelessness by providing legal assistance to those experiencing or at-risk for homelessness. Shelley focused on representing clients in eviction defense and housing discrimination cases, as well as advocating for access to shelters and affordable housing.
In 2015, Shelley began working as a Staff Attorney at Casa Myrna Vazquez, Inc. (CMV), a non-profit domestic violence agency in Boston. She provided an array of legal services to low-income clients in cases involving abuse prevention orders, family law, housing issues, and immigration matters. Shelley was also involved in managing Medical-Legal Partnerships with two Boston area hospitals while at CMV.
As a Clinical Instructor at TAP, Shelley will be supervising law students as they provide legal assistance to applicants and low-income tenants of affordable housing programs.
