Giving Compass' Take:

· A recent school-university partnership has created a new legal clinic in LA's Koreatown and Pico-Union to help the immigrant-dense communities. According to Education Dive, the legal clinic provides services for immigrants on the school site to remove obstacles they would otherwise face when seeking assistance.

· How will this legal clinic benefit the community? How has this initiative affected the students on campus? 

· Here's how one LA charter school is helping families deal with immigration enforcement.

The school-university partnership represents a growing effort to bring legal services into schools.

Almost 51 years ago, the son of an immigrant family shot and killed Senator Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel, west of downtown Los Angeles.

Today the complex of six community schools named for Kennedy — and occupying the same piece of land as the site of the assassination — houses a new legal clinic designed to assist families in the immigrant-dense communities of Koreatown and Pico-Union.

The Immigrant Family Legal Clinic at RFK Community Schools is a partnership between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law, the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).

"This effort is about transforming Los Angeles," LAUSD Board President Monica Garcia said Thursday at a ceremony celebrating the opening of the clinic. "It is about the pursuit of justice."
