“The UNT Dallas College
of Law was pleased to host Legal Hospice of Texas and its annual fundraising
event, The Heat of the Night,” said Dean Royal Furgeson. “Legal Hospice of
Texas provides much needed legal services to those in our community who are
facing personal health challenges and cannot afford basic legal necessities
like wills, durable powers of attorneys and other end-of-life documents. At our
law school, our students are encouraged to be engaged in their communities so
that everyone will have access to the law. By hosting this event, our goals are
to raise awareness of the good work of Legal Hospice and its volunteer lawyers
and, at the same time, to illustrate to our students the obligation to provide
volunteer legal services when they become lawyers. We also hope, through our
support, that Legal Hospice can raise the critical funds necessary to support
its important mission.”
