Barbara McDowell

Barbara McDowell, the Director of the Appellate Advocacy Program for the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, died Friday, January 2, 2009.

Barbara was the founding director of the Legal Aid Appellate Advocacy Pro- gram. She took the project from an idea to become the leading anti-poverty voice in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. She handled a broad range of cases that developed important decisional law for families, individuals and communities living in poverty, with many having national significance.

Barbara was an advocate of extraordinary talent. She believed deeply that she could make a difference in ending poverty and inequality and used every case as an opportunity to do just that. In her honor, we have renamed the program The Barbara McDowell Appellate Advocacy Program. Addi- tionally, The Barbara McDowell Endowment for Appellate Litigation has been established by her family and Legal Aid to honor her amazing work and dedication.

Barbara was many things to us at Legal Aid – colleague, friend, teacher, mentor. We will miss her deeply.
