Ward and Smith is excited to champion a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to delivering justice to those in need in New Hanover County.
We warmly invite you to join us on November 14 at 6:00 p.m. at the New Hanover County Community Justice Center in Wilmington, NC, for an evening of networking and celebration. This gathering goes beyond mere socializing—it's an opportunity to spotlight the mission of the Community Justice Center (CJC) and foster meaningful connections among legal professionals.
The Community Justice Center represents a unique collaboration among courts, law enforcement, social workers, and community organizations. Its primary mission is to assist victims of both criminal and civil abuse, striving to break the cycle of poverty and abuse that affects many individuals. By offering comprehensive support and services, the CJC is committed to building a safer and stronger community.
Funded by a generous grant from the New Hanover Community Endowment, the CJC is located at the Harrelson Center—a place rich in history that once served as a jail. Today, the Harrelson Center stands as a beacon of hope, housing several nonprofits devoted to enhancing community well-being. Situated between the New Hanover County Courthouse and the Juvenile Justice building, the CJC is strategically positioned to provide extensive support.
The center is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., ensuring its services are accessible to those who need them. Additionally, it offers round-the-clock emergency services, such as forensic interviews and evidence collection, ensuring victims receive immediate and compassionate assistance.
Ward and Smith's sponsorship of this event underscores our dedication to justice initiatives and community empowerment.
We extend an invitation to all members of the legal community and beyond to attend this significant event and demonstrate their support for an initiative poised to make a meaningful impact.
