Please join us in congratulating our newly sworn-in Lawrence Nestler Fellow, Rebekah “Bekah” Johnson, from our Smoky Mountains Office!

Making the moment even more special, Bekah was sworn in by District 43 Chief District Court Judge Donna Forga, who is also a former Legal Aid of North Carolina attorney. Talk about a full-circle Legal Aid moment! 💙 Next up for Bekah: being sworn into Tribal Court, where her practice will focus. Congratulations, Bekah! We’re so excited to have you carrying this work forward.
