More About The Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado
Our country rightfully takes great pride that its courts are open equally to all. But if you cannot afford a lawyer, the courthouse doors may as well be locked. Fortunately, the Legal Aid Foundation has helped ensure that free civil legal services are available to low-income Coloradans for over 35 years. The Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado promotes equal access to justice by raising funds to provide civil legal services for low-income people in the state of Colorado. Founded in 1981 in response to cuts in federal funding for legal aid, the Legal Aid Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees comprised primarily of lawyers from around the state.
Diana has been the Executive Director of the Legal Aid Foundation since 2005. Prior to joining the Foundation’s staff, she served on the COLTAF Board, as well as the Board of Colorado Legal Services. Her past employment includes the Colorado Lawyers Committee (Executive Director), the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (Staff Counsel’s Office), and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. Diana is a past president of the Colorado Women’s Bar Association and a current member of the Colorado Access to Justice Commission. She graduated with honors from Colorado College in 1979, and received her law degree from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1983. Following law school, she clerked for Judge Myron Bright of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
