Joe Price, today a highly respected Lackawanna County lawyer and champion of justice supporting civil legal aid across the Commonwealth, was just a young law student getting his first taste of life in north central Philadelphia in the mid-1970s when he was working at Dobbins Tech for LEAP. Joe is a great storyteller, as are most successful trial lawyers, and he tells a good one of taking the subway up from the law school and then walking over to Dobbins along Lehigh Avenue for his first class. Walking back the eight blocks from the school to the subway, he became nervous because he was clearly being followed. When he turned to confront his followers, they turned out to be students from his class, worried about his safety walking alone in the neighborhood. From that time forward, Joe was escorted by students to and from the subway every time he taught at Dobbins. Working at Dobbins provided Joe's first taste of how the mix of race and poverty impacted people and communities. It was also his first experience of the generosity found in such communities. That Joe has dedicated his life since to helping alleviate the problems he first saw with students at Dobbins is a testament to the value of LEAP placing law students in local schools.
