The Medical-Legal Services Project was an offshoot of a course taught jointly by Harvard Medical School and Harvard Law School faculty entitled Social Factors and Health Status: Medical and Legal Perspectives. For the project, students, working in pairs, interviewed patients and offered advocacy services and referrals to an appropriate agency to help the patients obtain necessary services.
The black and white photographs appeared in Focus with the story on the Medical-Legal Services Project and document students, faculty and participants in the project.
