Executive Spotlight: Eve Schatz, Berkshire Center for Justice
PITTSFIELD — Eve Schatz believes that community, legal and social issues intersect, and that they need to be addressed together, not separately, when larger issues like economics or politics are involved.
"That's a perspective that has developed as a thread throughout my education, personal experiences, travel experiences and so forth," she said.
Schatz is the founder and executive director of the Berkshire Center for Justice in Great Barrington, originally known as the Free Legal Clinic of South Berkshire County, a nonprofit she founded in 2006. Her work there recently caught the attention of the Massachusetts Bar Association, which this month awarded Schatz its Access to Legal Justice Award.
