| Occupation | Harriett Buhai (1916-1983), a woman whose life was characterized by activism on behalf of the defenseless, enjoyed a distinguished career that spanned over 50 years of American political history. As a certified family law specialist, Harriett provided pro bono legal assistance to needy families in South Central Los Angeles and was an active member of WLALA. Harriett was on the forefront of attorneys representing poor women at low or no cost. After her death on December 9, 1983, colleagues and friends at the Women Lawyers Association proposed that the fledging organization, “Family Law Project” be renamed in her honor. In November of 1984, the new corporation was registered by the CA Secretary of State, as the “Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law.”
Today, the work of the Center stands as a testament to this dynamic woman who, in the words of Judge Isabel R. Cohen (Ret.), used her legal talents and “gave them away free, without reward except that which comes inwardly to a person of values who does right in disregard of popular opinion and public appeal.” |
| Note | In honour of Harriett Buhai is the "Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law" in Los Angeles. The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law (The Center) was founded in the early 1980s by Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar and Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Since its inception, the Center has served as a cornerstone of family law and domestic violence assistance for low-income persons in California.
