It's Double Jeopardy(!) for the Trivia-whiz Public Interest Lawyer

We posted last week about Stacey Braverman, a Sutherland Equal Justice Works Fellow at Bread for the City’s Legal Clinic, who appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy!     

Stacy was a run-away victor in her first appearance.  Alas, another contestant beat her out in her second appearance -no contestant is invincible,  even the inimitable KJ – but Stacy bowed out gracefully and with much to be proud of.  Congrats, Stacy! 

And what’s better than a public interest lawyer acquitting herself well on a T.V. gameshow?  Answer: using that appearance to raise funds for the cause she serves.  We reached to Stacy about her appearance, and here’s what she told us:

[I]t was a lot of fun, and something I’d wanted to try for a long time.  I had great competitors, including one (Emily) who co-hosted a viewing party with me.  And I’m grateful to my co-workers for not pressuring me (too much) to reveal how it went, and for coming to watch the show with me on Tuesday night.  The bar where we watched donated 15% of their profits from the party to Bread for the City so that was extra fun. 

Well played all around.
